One of this great feature is NTFS drive support.
Although root user has the full access [ i.e. Read Write and Executable ] permission by default. But other users don’t . In this tutorial I will tell you how to enable Full access to other users too.

Prequisites :

1)know how to edit files
2)Root Permission

First logged in with root account [ either via console or via graphics ]
NOTE : USER CAN USE SUDO COMMAND ALSO

Then edit the /etc/fstab file
edit the following in the file
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-URDEVICE_ID /windows/C ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

to following fmask and dmask
fmask=000,dmask=000

so that it should look like this
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-URDEVICE_ID /windows/C ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=000,dmask=000,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

now unmount the volume and mount it again
#umount /windows/C/
and remount by
#mount -a

and the drive will be mounted with full access

If you have any problem please you are free to contact me [ comment here for it ;-) ]
