Access NTFS partitions without providing root password?

Question

I have Ubuntu and Windows Vista installed on the same disk, different partitions.

I can access the Windows data, but each (first) time I access the NTFS partition, the system asks me for root password.

Can I somehow allow my user to mount/access those partitions automatically?

Can you provide an example of your /etc/fstab? This may be as simple as providing the "user" option in your NTFS entry. — Scaine, Jan 01 '11 at 11:20

If you feel that you dont want to enter password on mounting and unmounting then one way is to edit sudoers file.
```
sudo visudo
```

Add the following two lines at the end of your file.

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/mount      
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/umount
