I have set up a /mnt/windows directory pointing to /dev/hda1. I can 
mount as root and as a normal user no problem but always get permission 
denied when I attempt to 'ls' or 'cd' the directory as a normal user.

I have tried modifying permission for the directory with both 'chmod 
a+r' and chmod 777' all to no avail. My /etc/fstab line reads as follows:

//dev/hda1               /mnt/windows    ntfs            
noauto,user,ro          0 0

/Any assistance appreciated.
