I found out you have to modify /etc/fstab by opening a console, typing su <enter> and putting in the root password, then running gedit /etc/fstab. Then changing the mount lines to look like this: /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ntfs ro,auto,umask=0222,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs ro,auto,umask=0222,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 ntfs ro,auto,umask=0222,iocharset=utf8 0 0 Now I can access it as a normal user! :D	hamstar (4)
