hi. i have 2 external hdd's.
the 1: Lacie Lacinema
and the 2: Maxtor One touch 4 Mini.
both are connected at USB-2.0
now when i plug them with USB the #1 without ANY problem connects and gives me WITHOUT any customization read-write option
BUT the #2 even though that it appears in media as the #1, it is only read only.
i tried the following for it.
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sde1 /mnt/OneTouch (didn't work)
went from krusader with Root previledges and mount it from there (didnt work)
tried to transfer files with root previledges (didn't work)
i even format the hdd for being totally empty from his file system at ntfs (again didn't work)
what must i do without doing it everytime..to fix this conflict? why it doesnt get rw permission when it is plugged as the #1? at the end its the same right?

finally i found a way to do it rw
ntfs-3g /dev/sde1 /mnt/OneTouch/is there any way to make automatic whenever i plug it in or i have to give this command EVERY time from console?
ty
also whats the difference between:
mount -t ntfs
and
ntfs-3g
command?

You could use /etc/rc.local to generate the command for every boot.
ntfs-3g is archlinux speak for ntfs.

so after inserting the command there whenever i plug in the hdd will be ok?
or i should have connect the hdd in every boot so it can see and mount it?

I beg to differ. 'ntfs' is arch for ntfs-read-only. You have to use ntfs-3g to get write access.
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sde1 /mnt/whatever
There are some other options as well, like:
-o uid=000,gid=000,users,etcetc
I can't really remember them all, but there are previous threads dealing with all the additional options. Even a 'man mount' might give you a clue.

To explain the difference clearly :
* ntfs uses a kernel module with read-only capabilities . So It's safe and fast but you can't write to the partition .
* ntfs-3g is a Userspace driver and depends on FUSE . It's not as safe and fast as the kernel module but It has writing capabilities .
