Hi Guys,
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 today to recover data from my computer after Windows was caught in a start-up loop. I was able to pull all the important files off of my hard drive (running Ubuntu as a trial from a CD) and put them onto an iomega external hard drive. I then wiped my computer and installed Ubuntu 12.04 permenantly, as I was fed up with Windows. Now I am trying to transfer the files from my external hard drive back onto my computer, but am getting a message that I do not have permission to access the drive. I am guessing that I must have had it set to read / write or something incorrectly when I transferred my data in the first place.
Does anyone know how I might be able to gain permission? I am afraid to mess with the formatting as this drive contains a year and a half of my graduate research backups.
Thank you very much for your help in advance!
