When I install Salix, I create a new user zw963:users, and I have a NTFS partition mount as /ntfs-d,
this partition can access with root, but can not access with user zw963,
What can i to do if i want to access NTFS partition with new create user?
Thanks.

Edit /etc/fstab so that partition is mounted automatically with more permissive rights. I think there is something about fstab in the Guide, and failing that, I believe there is an excellent wikipedia article explaining it. It's possible to set this up durig installation, though I can't remember whether there is an option to specify permissions. Wikipedia is also excellent on the latter.

and use the uid and gid options when mounting, read the mount manpage for more info.

Do not mount ntfs partitions in fstab.
Salix will do it for you, so the user will have full access read/write permissions.
Or put something like this in fstab
/dev/sda1 /media/Windows ntfs-3g nosuid, noexec, nodev, noatime, fmask=0133, uid=$UID, gid=$GID, utf8
