Become root, and do the following,

1) Look and edit in /etc/fstab for an entry, it should look something like this:
Code:
# vi /etc/fstab
UUID=EA90E27190E243A3 /media/hd2 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 and change it to,
Code:
UUID=EA90E27190E243A3 /media/hd2 ntfs-3g user,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0
delete the "defaults" and replace it with "user." Make sure to put a blank line at the end of the file. If it still doesn't help. Issue below command,
Code:
# ntfs-3g /dev/sda6 /media/hd6 -o force

Thanx chetan,
finally today i completed the task of writing over my NTFS drives after downloading NTFS-3g.
NTFS-3g is a Linux driver for accessing Windows partitions.
Thanks again.

Try to use this entry in /etc/fstab file

device_path location_to_mout ntfs-3g defaults,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,uid=Try_&_use_your_user_ID,rw 0 0

UID might be 500.

Interview: How a hacker became a freedom fighter
One of the founding fathers of "free software" and an esteemed elder of the hacking community, Richard Stallman has made defending people's freedoms his life's work. That usually means supplying hackers with software and attacking copyright law.
