Writing to sda1

Hi again.
I had to check my older files. Under Breezy, I kept this line in my
fstab:
/dev/hda1       /mnt/winxp      auto     rw,users,auto,umask=1000   0
0

I think that substituting /dev/sda1 for /dev/hda1 will allow you to read
from your NTFS partition. Try putting this line into your fstab file and
then from the terminal run sudo mount -a. The partition will then show
up under the Places menu.

Note that even though there is an rw in the line (for read and write)
you won't be able to write to the NTFS partition.

I don't remember where I got this line from, sorry. Try googling for
"linux NTFS read" or "access" or something similar.

Hope this helps somehow,

Rob
