I created a mount point and mounted my windows partition. By these two commands. mkdir -p /mnt/windows mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows But I have to log in as root in order to read the partition, I cant do it from my normal user account. How do I make my NTFS partition readable under my normal user account? I really dont wana have to log in as root just to access it. Thank for any assistance.
What are the permissions on /mnt/windows? If normal users have no permission to access the folder... well... You'll need to look up google for "chmod" if you don't know how to change permissions. If you put the mount point into /etc/fstab using "auto","user", or "defaults" options that should also let a normal user do stuff in one way or another, if you don't know which to use I advise you google "fstab". You also don't need to log in entirely as root to have root permissions. A normal user can start a terminal as root, or can turn into root using "su", or can use "sudo" to issue a single command as root if using some distros.
