Automatically Mount NTFS Partition with Full Permissions Using fstab

The system might not have the files for writing to NTFS partitions installed.

Try this in terminal:

sudo apt-get remove ntfsprogs && sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

This removes ntfsprogs if it's present on the system, and installs ntfs-3g which should allow you to write properly to NTFS partitions.

Then reboot your system, and attempt to open the NTFS drive for write access. You should now be able to write to the NTFS drive.

Can you check the contents of /etc/fstab file ?

As its a very important file, backup it first.

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak

Instead of doing it on command line, do it using GUI tools please check this

Note: Its a very important file. Please double check before doing any changes.

Update : Looks like you are not able to change settings with pysdm due to some bug in it - "No matter what I do with pysdm - Mount file system in read-only mode, still remains checked."

This can be fixed by manually editing /etc/fstab file . Changed

/dev/sda1                                  /media/sda1  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,ro,umask=000,user  0  0  

to

/dev/sda1                                  /media/sda1  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,rw,umask=000,user  0  0  

or even

/dev/sda1                                  /media/sda1  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,umask=000,user  0  0  

and rebooted the system.
