Now I am able to save/ download files on/ to NTFS with no issues at all I edited etc/fstab and added the lines
/dev/sda1 /media/VOL_1 ntfs defaults,utf8,quiet,uid=root,gid=root,dmask=0022,fmask=0133 0 0 /dev/sda5 /media/VOL_2 ntfs defaults,utf8,quiet,uid=root,gid=root,dmask=0022,fmask=0133 0 0 /dev/sda6 /media/VOL_3 ntfs defaults,utf8,quiet,uid=root,gid=root,dmask=0022,fmask=0133 0 0 /dev/sda7 /media/VOL_4 ntfs defaults,utf8,quiet,uid=root,gid=root,dmask=0022,fmask=0133 0 0 The above is for my hda. One can get the above info by 'fdisk -l' and add appropriate entries. I guess the issue may be with the HAL daemon. It tries to detect these partitions but not able to give write permissions to applications on them. -- MASTER Firefox 2 can't save to fat32/ntfs partitions (e.g. usb memory stick) - results in empty file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/65164 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
