Thanks, that's done the job!

One thing remains: I can mount my windows partitions now, but when I try
to enter them when logged in as normal user, my konquerer tells me
"locked directory". I can only access the partitions as a root.

Where can I give myself permission to enter those locked Windows partitions?

Thanks!
