How to restrict access to a NTFS partition to a standard (non-admin) user?

I have 5 NTFS partition on single hard disk where ubuntu is also installed. I want to restrict particular user to have only READ permission and wont make changes or delete anything on NTFS drives. Even want to restrict some folder's on NTFS parition to get access or hide from user. I can do it very well in Win7 but no idea how to in UBUNTU 12.04 ?

Also how can i grant access to NTFS partition to that user without password prompt ?

Yelp needed in advance configuration.

First of all, mount the partitions you want to restrict. Then navigate to /media/ directory and note the mount pount (names where partitions has been mounted)

Fire up a terminal and execute the following commands -

sudo blkid - note the UUID and sda number (/dev/sda'x') of the partition you want to keep restricted

sudo nano /etc/fstab

And add the following at the end -

/dev/sda'x' /media/'mount point' ntfs-3g noauto,uid=xxxxyyyy,unmask=7 0 0
