Change default permission settings for hda1

[epsilonx]

I am currently running BackTrack 3 Beta off a usb thumb drive. I realize that in Beta 3, it is giving full access rights, read, write, and execute, to my primary Windows hard drive in my laptop. Is there a way to make Beta 3 load read only permissions to my hda1 (primary hard drive)? I am afraid if I mistype a command, I could accidentally wipe out my main Windows drive. I know Backtrack v2 final doesn't allow write access to hda1 by default. Thanks.

You will want to modify your /etc/fstab file.

Off the top of my head I think the correct line would be:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs-3g auto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec,ro 0 0 # AutoUpdate

Naturally you will have to modify the existing line you have, not add a second one.

If I modify the fstab file, will the changes stay, since the next boot from the USB starts a fresh default session? How would I make this change permanent?
