where to mount windows drive so root doesn't own

I recently installed 11.2 w/KDE and noticed a big problem, root owns my entire windows drive.
Also I want to switch to Gnome so I’ll be reinstalling.

So as the title states what should I change to default mount option to to access (not read only)my windows drive?

Or if root will always own it, how do you get chown to work on files in folder with spaces in the name? (eg. Documents and Settings)

Go here:
NTFS - openSUSE
and apply the advice for 11.0 on the fstab in your 11.2.

Thanks that’s exactly what I needed.
And now I realize I should have searched for NTFS instead of ownership.

Hardly ever mentioned is a small utility called “ntfs-config” available in the repo-oss. Install and run and simply check the boxes of the ntfs partitions you want a regular user to have read - write access to and your done. I know all the gurus want us noobs to learn to edit the fstab and I can but I am also lazy.

You don’t need to reinstall to get Gnome. From YaST => Software Management,
select “View Patterns” and choose the “GNOME Desktop Environment”. After you do
that, log out. From the login screen, you can select either KDE or Gnome.
