Edit fstab and change the file system to ntfs. Regarding the permissions, you need to make the mount point readable and possibly writable by your users. There's many ways you can do go about it, I'd do it via groups.
Here's an example: 'groupadd $GROUPNAME' # create new group 'usermod -G $GROUPNAME $USERNAME' # Adds user to group, run it for whichever user you want to access the mount 'chown :$GROUPNAME Mountpoint' # modifies mountpoint permission to be of the group 'chmod g+rw Mountpoint' # gives group read/write permissions Cheers, James -----Original Message----- From: David Hammett [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: February 3, 2010 5:27 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: R: sata hard drive mounting problem Thanks Marco You stated:>> You need add a line like this one in /etc/fstab: /dev/device /mount/point file system options dump pass For use normal user /dev/sdb1 /media/HDD ext3 defaults,user,rw 0 0 ------------------------ The drive has an nfts windows file system on it with some folder already on it. I'm trying to get my file's off it on to the new debian install I got now, then I'm going to take the derive back out of this computer. So I think I need to put the file system as nfts not ext3 right? You stated:>> If you create the mount point with a root user do you need change the owner of the folder --------------------------------- If all the folders are crowned with root as owner, How do I change them to all users?
