Hi William,

Here is my attempt to try your suggestion ?

iamme at thishost\~ >sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/Andrew -t ntfs-3g -o rw,uid=`1001`,gid=`1001`
1001: command not found
1001: command not found
iamme at thishost\~ >
iamme at thishost\~ >id -a
uid=1001(iamme) gid=1001() 
groups=2(bin),3(sys),4(adm),5(tty),8(mail),9(news),12(man),20(dialout),22(voice),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),39(irc),44(video),46(plugdev),60(games),102(syslog),104(lpadmin),107(crontab),109(ssh),114(admin),1001()
iamme at thishost\~ >
