Thanx a lot.
I’d been trying to do this for over 2 hours to no avail.
I have just installed Karmic Koala and didn’t remember how to do that.
It was a piece of cake following your instructions.
I had to add ‘sudo’ to every command, but that I know how to do. LOL
Thanks again.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Venezuela.
:-)

from Stan Smith via email:

Thank you for including this essential command (not found in the Ubuntu help)

Next, here’s one of the most important things….and somethng that I didn’t find in any of the articles on the web when I was trying to figure out how to do this. You have to make the mount point directory ‘writable’. In other words, you have to give it writable permissions. They have to be world-writable permissions since you aren’t a member of the ‘root’ group in which all mount points are owned.

So, now you want to run the following command (again substituting my mount point name for yours):
$ chmod 777 /media/linuxstore

Worked almost well, I use Ubuntu 8.04:

Took me over 2 hours to be able to modify…a “/” was needed at the end of chmod:

sudo chmod 777 /media/linuxstore/

Still, many thanks, very helpful mate ;)

Any ideas how to get the mounted drive to show up under system:/media in Dolphin? or system in Konqueror?

Thank you…I had been creating a new partition on a second hard drive, with GParted, and with fdisk. Each time the partition was owned by root. This was VERY helpful.
