it has something to do with the permissions i think. try chmod 777 for now, and if that doesn't work, reformat the partition<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/11/29 Going It Alone <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:reggaemaker@googlemail.com">reggaemaker@googlemail.com</a>></span><br>

Hello<br><br>Using gParted I have created a new partition on the extended partition on my second drive (this second drive was my original drive before I got a larger one and have kept it in the computer without reformatting it as there was data on there that I wanted to keep).<br>
<br>I want to use this new partition to keep photos in along with some html files that I use to view these photos. I also want all the accounts on my computer to be able to read, write, and execute files in this partition.<br>
<br>Though the partition (I have included it in the /etc/fstab file) shows up on the desktop after doing the commands below, I an unable to copy any files into photos01 let alone do anything else with this folder.<br><br>
<br>++++<br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ sudo mkdir -m 660 /media/photos01<br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ <br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ <br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ sudo mount
-a<br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ <br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ <br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ ls -l /media<br>total 45<br>lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-05-29 21:48 cdrom -> cdrom0<br>.<br>.<br>drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-11-27 22:45 photos01<br>
