I am closing this bug report as it seems the documentation, which was
the problem here, has been updated.

NTFS partition read only (no write) on Feisty clean install
Ubuntu 7.04 doesn't support NTFS read/write out of the box. But it can
be done if you install ntfs-3g and ntfs-config from the Universe
repository then run ntfs-config as the document describes.

Laurent,
Thank you for your response. The ntfs partition was automatically mounted
during the installation process. I didn't use ntfs-3g. Is the ntfs kernel
capable of making ntfs partitions writeable?
Szabolcs,
Thank you for your response. If by the document you mean the windows
partition
ntfs-3g IS needed to have full read/write support. The kernel module
write support still experimental (or even worse dangerous).

You received this bug notification because you are a member of
From ntfs-3g upstream: not some but all users must install ntfs-3g and
ntfs-config then do the configuration themself to have read/write NTFS
since Ubuntu 7.04 doesn't support this automatically. The document is
indeed unclear on this. Thank you for fixing it.

Hi,
How did you mount the ntfs partition? do you use the ntfs module of the
kernel or do you use the ntfs-3g with fuse?
The ntfs module has no write support enabled by default.
