Now I am able to save/ download files on/ to NTFS with no issues at all

I edited etc/fstab and added the lines

/dev/sda1 /media/VOL_1 ntfs defaults,utf8,quiet,uid=root,gid=root,dmask=0022,fmask=0133 0 0
/dev/sda5 /media/VOL_2 ntfs defaults,utf8,quiet,uid=root,gid=root,dmask=0022,fmask=0133 0 0
/dev/sda6 /media/VOL_3 ntfs defaults,utf8,quiet,uid=root,gid=root,dmask=0022,fmask=0133 0 0
/dev/sda7 /media/VOL_4 ntfs defaults,utf8,quiet,uid=root,gid=root,dmask=0022,fmask=0133 0 0

The above is for my hda. One can get the above info by 'fdisk -l' and add appropriate entries.

I guess the issue may be with the HAL daemon. It tries to detect these partitions but not able to give write permissions to applications on them.
