Hello,

I did not get the full thread, but I guess it is the same problem I got 
in the beginning and some others had on this list, too ;-)

the command is:

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/windows -o umask=0000

The key is the -o Option: it tells that every usery user has all rights. 
But don't panic ;-) You can't write to ntfs, so erasing is not possible, 
and in general I think you will be alone on your desktop, so that 
anybody will read possible sensible data is not that big, I think...

:-)
