Done & after reboot still Unmount option in Dolphin.

Done & after reboot still Unmount option in Dolphin. 

Did you save your settings to /etc/fstab when asked?

[zapjb]

I didn't get the option to save your settings to /etc/fstab.

And those options do not stay checked.

I do, and they do. Try again.

Must be user error. Heres what I do:

PCC - Local disks - Manage disk partitions - Toggle to expert mode - select windows partition - Options - Mount Options

I select noatime, noauto, nosuid & user which checks noexec & nodev

OK (Repeat this for other Win partition) - Done - File - Quit

Then I go back to check on settings. And all are unchecked. What am I doing wrong?

I don't know. When I click the OK button then the Done button, I get this;

I got to  Root>etc     fstab

My fstab is:

# Entry for /dev/sda5 :

Does this help?

It shows that your settings aren't being saved and written to /etc/fstab. You could, as root, edit the file directly and add lines for /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2.

When in PCC, did you select a mount point for the partition, before or after setting the options?

A) But what exactly do I write?
B) No. Since they're both Windows. I'd choose Windows as the mount point?

Each mount point must be exclusive. Usually you'd mount them in /mnt/windows-c and /mnt/windows-rec or something similar; win-c and win-rec would do nicely. The names are up to you. As root you'd need to create those directories first, then add lines to /etc/fstab like;

/dev/sda1   /mnt/win-rec   ntfs-3g   rw,nosuid,nodev,user,noauto,umask=000   0 0

/dev/sda2   /mnt/win-c   ntfs-3g   rw,nosuid,nodev,user,noauto,umask=000   0 0

You could use the command;

[root@localhost ~]# blkid

to see the actual UUID numbers, and use them in place of the /dev/sdn designations, like the lines already there.

In Control Centre, Unmount the partition/s before making your changes.

First unmount the partitions before making the changes, as knome said. In addition, don't quit with File > Quit, but the Done button in the bottom right.
