Where does it say that?

(Ctrl+U should pop up the source of the mail you are viewing.)

If you know about command lines and changing /etc/fstab, these options
are listed in 'man mount' (this information is also available in the
GNOME help browser).

The options you need are or might be different for FAT/VFAT and NTFS,
and I'm not sure what you would need for your Windows partitions (and I
don't have any anymore to test on).


BTW: You might want to ask this again on the ubuntu-nl list.
