Looks like Catch 22. have a look at this: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html Note that you will need to unmount the drive first if it is auto mounted. Until you can read and write to the NTFS drive, you will not be able to change the permissions. You will need to mount the drive using ntfs-3g to allow you to change the permissions. You could always revert to read only when you've done this if you thing the risk of subsequently corrupting the data is unacceptable. -- Ramage T5500 1.6GHz, SC 7.2-22869 Win Vista, Alien 2.0 P4 2.6GHz, SC 7.3-23688 WinXP, Alien 2.2b1-7.3 P2 266MHz, ubuntu server 8.10 SC 7.4~24326 Alien 2.4a2-7.3 AMD64x2 ubuntu 8.04, SC 7.3-24298, Alien 2.4a1-7.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ramage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5343 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56652 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
