change file permission external usb hdd
Hi all (again)...
Well I got my hdd operating in ubuntu. However, with one problem out of the way, another one occurs. :( It seems now that i cannot write to my external usb hdd. When i try to write to it or modify a file on it, i get the following response: 'cannot write to W_DIGITAL. you are trying to write to a read-only disk'. I went into terminal and gained root access. I went into the /media/ folder and tried the following command: chmod +w W_DIGITAL However, I get the response: chmod: changing permissions of `W_DIGITAL': Read-only file system Thus, it cannot change the file permissions. Any ideas? Thanks to everyone who read/replied to my query. thanks, Dan |
In general, NTFS is read only under linux.
