unable to write to second hard drive
Hi,
I've added a second (160gb) hard disc into my machine (running ubuntu 8.10) for storage of files but am unable to write any file to it!! apparently I dont have permission! having played around a bit I am unable to change permissions by right-clicking on the icon and going to the permissions tab as is says permissions could not be determined. I have root user privileges and the sudo password to hand and have tried mounting the disk from the terminal using 'sudo mount' and can still not write anything to the disk!
The disk is formatted using GParted to EXT3 (although this I can do again as I have not put anything onto it yet, if this is incorrect!)
I'm sure it is something I have overlooked as I am still a relative noobie to this wonderful world of LInux / Ubuntu, and would be grateful if anyone can show me where I'm going wrong.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions
Pete
