Can't create new folder in /media/Data

Asked by Eadit Bernstein

Hi
I'm a new user, I tried to create a new folder in /media/Data , when I wrote mkdir 'EaditFolder" I got the message:
'cannot create directory ‘ggg’: Permission denied'
only sudo mkdir 'EaditFolder" is working
Also I can't add new folders by right clicking on the mouse (without using terminal)
Thanks
 Eadit

This is NTFS. If the NTFS is not complete and consistent then the OS will mount it read only. If you reboot back in to Windows and run a full ckdsk (will require a reboot if it is the system partition) then you will find the file system works as expected. You may also find this happens if you hibernated Windows etc.

Can you help with this problem?
