I can explore sda1 and sda2. Need write permission for those.
Have you installed ntfs-3g? It will give you writing permissions for the NTFS partitions.

edit as above
to do that - open a normal terminal and do (kde)
kdesu kwrite /etc/fstab
In gnome
gnomesu gedit /etc/fstab
Reboot
If you still have trouble we may need to edit permissions
Carl:
It works, thanks.
Best,

No problem…
