The following works on Windows XP, but fails on Windows 7, apparently

I would be grateful for suggestions of what to change and where to
find it.
Here's what I had to do to get any usb drive to be accessible on Windows 7
in fstab:
e:/ /mnt/e ntfs noacl, nouser, binary
obviously pick your own mount point(/mnt/e), source(e:/), and filesystem
type (ntfs).
I put four of these lines in for e:/, f:/, g:/, h:/ to cover all
(hopefully) eventualities.
May not be the only, best, approved, etc way but it got me going.
HTH,
roger wells
