I am guessing that you are trying for read/write permissions
for a mounted NTFS partition.
What you are doing will probably do bad things to the Windows
permissions.
The proper way is to change the permissions of the mount since
that is what will give you read/write pemissions.
Open VASM and there are mount partition options and irc you
can change the permissions there.

i already try that...
but it keep doesnt work...
i mean, i can use chown command for the directories but i cant use it for the files...
when i try to chown the file, it say something like "operation not supported"...
what does it mean...
also with chmod...
pls help me i keep stuck in this problem...
when i use vasm to mount my ntfs partition, it has an option, what should i do with that or just leave it by the default
but what i dont understand is...
"bigpaws : Open VASM and there are mount partition options and irc you
can change the permissions there. "
i couldnt found where to change permission...

fstab Huh That is be the contents of the /etc/fstab file. This is where you can specify how you want the filesystems to be mounted (with read/write permissions, etc...) |

I spotted one error you made in your /etc/fstab file: /dev/hdb5 /mnt/hdb5 ntfs defaults rw 0 0 is incorrect syntax and won't set the mount point read/write. It should read: /dev/hdb5 /mnt/hdb5 ntfs defaults,rw 0 0 However. I believe read/write is default behaviour anyway. ntfs3g has come a long way in the last two years. You would find life much easier with 5.9. |

gslapt is for getting applications from the Vector repository.
You need to check that ntfs-3g is installed.
