[Solved] Unable to write to NTFS (windows) drive as non-root user KDE

Hey im having a problem writing files to my windows drive, to mount it i click on on it in Dolphin, then it asks for root password then im able to access the drive.
But when i go to copy files i get a 'Access Denied' error popup.

Im guessing it's because i dont have my account setup to be allowed to write to the drive, or because the drive is mounted by root and not by my acocunt.

So was wanting to know how i would resolve this error ??

Thanks

btw my account is setup in the wheel group if thats helps with answering my questions.

Just install ntfs-3g.
