Writing to sda1

[Robert Krueger]

Hi Rob,
   By normal, I mean chmod, chown, etc as root.
Must be something different about NTFS, I used to be able to do this 
with SuSe 8.2, but you're right I think.  Before, my system used to look 
at the other HD as hda1, formatted as FAT, not NTFS.

Thanks for your help,
Robert
