mounting in fstab

[audiolover]

Hello, as far as I remeber it used to work, I added a couple of lines to fstab in order to mount my NTFS disk:

/dev/sdb5 /home/moi/ntfs_files ntfs rw,auto,user,fmask=133,dmask=022,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

Mounting is not the problem but all the files are read-only? I tried to use chown to correct this but chown also reports "read only"

What is it I overlooked?

I know that page but cannot find what it is I am doing wrong?

I found the solution: Windows was not shut down properly and "locked" the NTFS partitions! I told you it used to work

I've heard stories of fastboot locking the disc after a windows update. Not sure how it was dealt with as I don't use windows so I have not looked into it. There is a way to correct it though.
