Accessing NTFS volume

[Robert Brown]

I need help accessing an NTFS volume.  When I installed Ubuntu, the 
volume mounting was configured for defaults.  As any user other than 
'root', I cannot access the volume's contents.  As 'root', I changed 
/etc/fstab from 'ro' to 'rw,umask=0777'.  I still cannot access that 
volume unless I am logged in as root.  Can anyone help me with this 
problem.  Is there somewhere else a change needs to be made?
