Re: [LUG] Complete Newbie Question

Hi,

I use 7.10 too, never had a problem with read/write access to NTFS. It seems 
reasonable to suggest it works since you can use it via Samba and you mention having 
to mount the partition, this will mean you have to edit the fstab file.

There is a GUI configuration tool can install via synaptic package manager or with 
the command:

sudo apt-get install NTFS-config

This will edit the fstab file for you (but its probably better to get a feel for 
manually editing config files in the long run). Here is a link to a walk through 
using NTFS-config.

This link is how to manually edit NTFS and FAT32:

Hope this helps you,

Chris
