I believe you omitted '/hda1.' The correct entry for /hda1 would be From: /dev/ /media/ ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 To: /dev/hda1 /media/ ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 Also, all of the above is relative to an IDE hard drive (/dev/hda3). If you are using SATA or SCSI (in lieu of /dev/hda3) you would have to use the '/dev/sdaX' syntax. I put 'X' after sda because the value can be tricky to determine (It may not be /dev/sda3)and depends on other connected USB, SCSI, and SATA drives that are present on your system. Very Good article!
