First we have to make sure we have some stuff installed and some stuff not installed.

First lets make sure you don't have any older versions of fuse installed.

Open up yast --> software management and chenge the Filter to Search

Type in fuse into the search field. If there is anything that is selected deselect it as shown here.



Now we have to make sure we have the development packages installed. Click on the filter and select Patterns. Make sure you have the Linux Kernel Development and C / C++ Development checked off as in this picture.



Then hit accept. You can now close yast.

Now download the the following packages:

Fuse

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/fuse/fuse...mp;big_mirror=0

and NTFS-3g

http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ntfs-3g-1.417.tgz

Uncompress the tar.gz files (right click on them and Select Extract--> extract here)

now open up a terminal session System ---> Terminal --->Konsole

in there become root with the su command and enter your password

now once you have become root enter this into terminal at the # prompt

Code:
modprobe -r fuse
and hit enter

now navigate to your kernel source directory

Code:
 cd /usr/src/linux
now type the following command in there

Code:
make mrproper && make cloneconfig && make modules_prepare
Now change to the directory that containing the fuse source (if you downloaded it to your home directory the path would look like this)

Code:
cd /home/username/fuse-2.6.3
now in here type the following and hit enter.

Code:
./configure --enable-kernel-module && make && make install
Now change to the directory that containing the NTFS-3g source (if you downloaded it to your home directory the path would look like this)

Code:
cd /home/username/ntfs-3g-1.417
and now enter this command

Code:
./configure && make && make install
You can now close the terminal window as we are done there.

Now open up File manager in Super User mode (System -->File Manager--> Filemanager - Super User Mode) and when prompted enter your root password.

Now navigate to the /etc directory and find a file called fstab. Right click and open it in Kwrite. Once you have that open look for your windows mounts. It should look something like this

Code:
/dev/sdd2************/windows/D********** ntfs****** ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
put a # in front of this line and enter a new one like this one. Please make sure that the /dev and /windows line are the same as the line you just commented out.

Code:
/dev/sdd2************/windows/D********** ntfs-3g****silent,users 0 0
make sure you hit enter at the end of the line and then place your cursor at the front of the next following line and hit backspace to remove the empty line. Now put the cursor underneath the last line and go up to file and select save.

Now close that window down and reboot. You should have full read write access to that NTFS partition now. Enjoy.
