Just open synaptic, search for ntfs-3g, select it, click apply.
Give you a GUI and everything, under Applications->System tools.
You don't have to touch the terminal.
That's how I finally did it. --and I wish someone told me about that before I ended up thinking it was all complicated, too ;( Maybe somewhere they did and I missed it...

Thanks a bunch, instructions worked perfectly and everything works great.
(IBM Thinkpad X31, Ubuntu 7.04)
Thanks for the guideline. It seems to work, but I can mount and unmount my external HD only as su. If I am not in the su mode, and if I try to mount the device in nautilus, then always the "you are not privileged to mount the volume" message appears.
How can I give access rights to the drive automatically?
I tried to do the following:
/dev/sda1 /media/MUGEN ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0000 0 0
following the instructions at:
http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtontfs.html
I am pretty sure about the uid, but less sure about gid...
Could somebody offer some advice?
Thanks, Stefan
PS. Sorry, I did not read all the 100 pages of this thread... I was a little bit too tired to do so after having read a lot of other pages.
Seems to work now. Don't know what the problem was first. I removed all the manual configurations that I did and I stick to the automatic configuration.
Hey givré,
Your method worked for me partially. I have 3NTFS partitions (lets name them A, B & C), over 2 HDD's (A on HDD1, B & C on HDD2). Now with your method partitions A & B worked, but not C. Partition C was always weird from the beginning. Like, whenever I start-up Ubuntu, I have to double click on it in 'Computer' to mount it, only then I can view the contents. And I have to do this every time I reboot Ubuntu. And partition C never showed up on the list of available partitions while installing Windows or Ubuntu.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!
Bump
THis is what I looking for, thanks
Worked perfectly for me, just needed a reboot. I'm transferring quite a bit of data as we speak. Thanks for the help
