HOWTO: Setup read/write access to local NTFS drives.

Install ntfs-3g, Then you can mount the disk with the mount command or at boot time and use read/write.

Install and Mount Commands

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g  


sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/win_c  

If you want to mount the drive automatically when the host is booted then you need to add something like the following in your /etc/fstab

/etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /media/win_c ntfs-3g defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       7

Here are a collection of Mini-HOWTOs some of which are too short even for that grand title. I keep them around as it is easier to remember where to look these up that to remember the content of the mini-HOWTO
