This was totally my fault. I tried to mount my Windows partition in Fedora 15 using the following command in /etc/fstab :

/dev/sda3 /windows ntfs defaults 0 0

Now when I try to create a file in any place other than my user directory, I get a permissions error. My user account in Windows has administrator permissions as well.

What is the remedy? Also, is the following command a better option for /etc/fstab ?

/dev/sda3 /windows ntfs rw 0 0

You're getting errors when trying to create files in /windows or just when touching anything outside your home directory? Second one is a desired situation. – Dr McKay Sep 8 '11 at 15:46
