    I've mounted a few Windows partitions but I can't write files to them.

    This is my FSTAB:

    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hdb3       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hda1       /media/hda1     ntfs    nls=utf8,umask=0222        0       0
/dev/hda5       /media/hda5     ntfs    nls=utf8,umask=0222        0       0
/dev/hdb1       /media/hdb1     ntfs    nls=utf8,umask=0222        0       0
/dev/hdb2       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/hdd        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
    What do I need to do?

    NTFS support is read-only by default in most distros. Since NTFS is proprietary, compatibility with it has been achieved by reverse engineering. As a result NTFS write support is currently considered experimental. That being said, it can be done and the process is covered in detail here.
