Hi,

Having copied all the files from my external disk drive into onboard
memory, and checked that they are accessible and function normally, I
have created a new EXT3 file system on the external disk drive. There is
now nothing on the external disk drive except an empty 'Lost and Found'
folder. However, I cannot copy any of my files back to the external disk
drive, because it says I do not have permissions to write to this
destination. The properties tab for the external disk drive says
'permissions could not be determined.' I cannot imagine what could cause
this, since everything that was on the drive has been deleted. Does
anybody know how I can change the permissions? I do not know how to log
in as root on this computer, since Linux Emporium never told me, though
I could ask them. It would presumably be easier to change the
permissions using 'sudo', if root privileges are required, wouldn't it?
