Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure that samba is a network suite and can't access ntfs directly
on the same host.  It can't sahre ntfs filesystems out from MS box to a Linux
box but that's not appropriate here as David lists the device as "/dev/hda1"
It's clearly local.

David, You may like to update your system to woody and a 2.4 kernel as the
NTFS support is much improved there.

Yours Tony
