BW! My HERO! Good AM! by the way, are you ever going to read my Blog4u/PM/email? May I sleep now?
where do I look for it???? My LQ pm indicator says 0 (zero pm) where are you located and how do I get there. Am I going to have to post a separate help in here to get help on what you're talking about?

@naumanafsar, did you try your chmod command as root or sudo? Sudo is preferential. Also not just chmod, but chown is recommended to change the ownership of that directory to be owned by your intended user.
Yes @rtmistler Problem SOLVED!!!
I didn't knew about the sudo -i command first
this worked great for me
Code:
sudo -i
chown -R username /directory
i read the chown and chmod permissions carefully and i followed the steps (first sudoing) and it worked, now i have all the necessary permissions for /datapartition
Thank you! again
