Bug Description

I mounted my windows partition using "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt" and afterward went to browse the windows partition to copy some files over to my linux partition. But, it said i do not have permission to access the windows partition and since the root userid is not standard with ubuntu i am stuck. Before when i mounted the windows partition it allowed a regular user to access it.

You could change permissions of the folder that contains your windows partition:

sudo chmod 777 /mnt -R

One it was mounter. Try it

This is not a bug; if you want the files on a Windows filesystem to be owned by someone other than root, you have to pass the uid mount option.
