Thanks for the replies, sorry I haven't been back in touch for a few days. If I click Properties and select the Permissions tab the User is -me(my user name), Group is root. On the access Permissions part the Owner is set to "Can View Contents". If I change this to "Can View & Modify Content" and click "OK" I get an error message "Could not change permissions for /media/lomega HDD". I am on kde3.10. Their must be a way of defining default permissions for anything plugged into the usb port. Can anyone help with this issue please.
