Ok, I found that ntfs and linux are not completely compatable.
SO I'll repartion the drive to have an ntfs partition and a fat32 partion. That leaves the question of how do I tell fstab to look for the fat32 partition and not the ntfs partition or to look for both?????

Thanks
Carson

Subject: mounting htfs file system

I have a usb drive that is formatted as ntfs. When I mount it, it mounts as read only.
What do I need to do to make this file system writable??

This is an actual hard drive not a memory stick and is 120 gigs. I'd like to use it for backups and I can't format it as ext3 because I also unfortunatly need to use it on windoze as well.

The entry in my fstab is:
/dev/sda1       /media/usd1     ntfs    noauto,user     0       0

Thanks for any help on this.
