Success!!! I read up in the man pages for mount, mount.ntfs, and fstab 
which resulted in the folowing fstab entries which work

# /dev/sda7
UUID=AA84ABA1463F85C9 /media/Downloads ntfs 
rw,nodev,noatime,blksize=4096 0 0
# /dev/sda5
UUID=01FDB079EDF37490 /media/Music ntfs rw,nodev,noatime,blksize=4096 0 0
# /dev/sda8
UUID=4BC92DF718C72864 /media/Personal ntfs rw,nodev,noatime,blksize=4096 0 0
# /dev/sda9
UUID=A0A8FF96A8FF6964 /media/Programs ntfs 
ro,nodev,noexec,noatime,blksize=4096 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=AE3C279C3C275E99 /media/disk ntfs 
ro,nodev,noexec,noatime,blksize=4096 0 0

Thanks for the pointer to the right man pages Niels!
