Ok, so right now I access my card reader and thumb drive just fine by setting up these lines in my fstab:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/reader auto noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/reader auto noauto,user,exec 0 0

and then I can get to them by opening Konqueror and clicking on "Devices" in the left column, then "Hard Disc (sda1) [/mnt/reader]" (or similar for sdb1). So....I wanted to do this for my windows partition so I set up a new line in fstab like so:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/winblows ntfs noauto,user,exec 0 0

But when I try to click on "Devices" then "Hard Disc (hda1) [/mnt/winblows]" in Konqueror I get the error "Could not enter folder /mnt/winblows"
What gives?
I checked the permissions of the actual folder /mnt/winblows and it is r_xr_xr_x
Thanks. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I figured since I'm trying to set it up to work through Konqueror I had the right place.

Hello wesblake,

Did you try mounting it by hand?
Code:
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/winblows

And you'd do this using 'su' or 'sudo' to have root privileges.

HTH :)

When I had trouble doing this I just dropped in a knoppix cd and copied some of the fstab entries into my own fstab.

You will need to add a few more mount options. Give it the "umask=000, uid=username,gid=group" - using your desired User and Group names.

Write access has become stable in the 2.6.10 kernel so make sure to turn that on if you want to write. I still prefer to manually mount my ntfs drive but those extra moint options should get you out of trouble.

Let me know how you go
Hope I could be of assistance

Yes, I've mounted manually by su then mount -t ntfs...
Works fine that way, of course then I can only access as root.
I'll try the extra options gtr-xu1 suggested and see how that goes.
