I believe NTFS has no notion of users, so the whole filesystem under /dev/sda3 will belong to exactly one user. Try using "uid=1000" in /etc/fstab (after 'defaults'). That should cause the fs to belong to your user (I'm assuming your uid is 1000, use the id command to find out if it's different) Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
