A little help

[todpod]

Installed a new 1tb hard drive I can read and write using sudo nautilus, but it won't let change permissions so that i can access it as a regular user, I think it finally let me share the main media folder, but I need to read and write locally. Thanks for the help

Where is it mounted? mount
What are the permissions on the mount point or directory you want to use? ls -ld /stuff

Its mounted media/disk , It says I am not the owner so I cannot change the permissions for both the drive and directory, I try to change the using sudo nautilus but have be unsuccessful. Btw using Ubuntu 8.10, should have said that first. Thanks todd

Use the command line. Chown it to your user sudo chown username /media/disk
