Ive got permission denied error when i try to go to win partition

Hello,
Im totally new here. This is my first day when i migrated from Ubuntu to Arch Linux. I can say that Arch linux with kdemod3 is so fast (thats the reason why i switched from kubuntu), that i was impressed very much. Now i dont wanna look back to ubuntu, so i want to solve some problems. I want that system will automatically mount my windows partition so i typed this in fstab:

/dev/sda1 /media/hda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 0

but the problem is that when i reboot computer, it shows that drive is mounted, when i click on drive it says Unable to enter file:///media/hda1. You do not have access rights to this location. and i cant go inside and open/edit anythink. when i type sudo konqueror in terminal, konqueror opens and i can open/edit files in that drive. So i right click on drive, choose permissions and try to change everythink to can view & modify contens but i get error message which says that permissions couldnt be changed. whats wrong because i run konqueror with sudo, but it still cant change permissions?
thank you for your help

syms,

I think you need ntfs-3g.

/dev/sda1 /media/hda1 ntfs-3g defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 0

You will need to install ntfs-3g.

Take a look at:

Thank you for your fast reply! i will try soon.
anyway i have one more problem. sometimes when i open my home folder i get this:

Will not save configuration.
Configuration file "/home/simas/.kde/share/config/kio_thumbnailrc" not writable.
Please contact your system administrator.

i dont understand whats happening, because i got this error only sometimes. also, my permissions in my own home folder are ok

Make sure that subdirectories belong to your user.

Or do a

chown -R simas .kde

Probable it only happens sometimes because kio_thumbnailrc is not always created.
