In Arch Linux the users will not have any read permissions on NTFS drives by difault. It can be resolved using a simple package called ntfs-3g. Apart from Debian the the ntfs usage has to be manually done by editting the /etc/fstab file. Perform the following as root to add the NTFS capabilities.
pacman -S ntfs-3g
add the following line to /etc/fstab
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/<NTFS-part> /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
The partition will be mounted at /mnt/windows.If you do not want to mount the partition by default use none instead.
If you want to people in users group access the drive then use
gid=users,umask=0022
instead of default under options.
Reboot the system and enjoy!!!
