Can you list out each device and their partition type .

To access as root use this command -$ sudo nautilus then navigate to the said partitions and see if they still have the features locked. If you can access as root the problem will be different. And a temporary solution is to run -$ sudo chmod 777 /foo/device/ -R this will allow all users to access the files. However read up on the permissions and you may want to use something else other than 777 (which is " read, write access to all") ** If you can't still have full access to the files as root then check what type of formatting system has been used (if its different from msdos which is the usual default). If it is different you may need to first copy ? back up all your files and do a reformat of the HD in question. ram > Thanks in advance. > > > Regards > Navdeep Singh > > > > -- > ubuntu-in mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in > > -- Ram _________________________________________________________<http://www.munsiari.com> Amazing Indians: Transforming lives in the hills<http://www.timesnow.tv/Amazing-Indians-Transforming-lives-in-the-hills/videoshow/4383022.cms>
