why can I not alter any of my files?
 

I am having a problem altering any file or documents. I just want to move every thing from my slave Hard disk to my master. how do I alter documents
with the "root" user? And why can I not do it as my normal user?

The slave has two partitions and both partitions are ext3 i did manage to access permissions with Krusader ROOT PRIVLEGES I will Post how it goes

You could provide more information on the contents of the "slave" drive. If it is a fat32 or ntfs drive, then use the "uid=<yourusername>" option when mounting the partition so that you are the owner of the files. If you already copied them, you can use "sudo chown <yourusername> <file(s)>" command to change the ownership.

might not be able to do it with your normal user because of the permissions used in mounting the drive..

looking at the output of mount would be a good place to start.
