    Red face The permissions of "hda1" could not be determined

    Ok.. So in an effort to rid windows and ntfs drives from my machine. I formatted my windows drive to ext3 last night. Now I can mount it, but I can not read or write or change permissions even as root. here are some outputs that may help someone help me fix this. btw Im running 8.04

    phil@neon-box:~$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
    total 0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-04-29 06:38 07942e56-bfdc-42c4-a677-584adb007b02 -> ../../sdb2
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-04-29 06:38 2038-FFD0 -> ../../sdc1
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-04-29 06:38 a8c89ed0-9098-4fe8-a1f4-1df583dba43b -> ../../sdb1
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-04-29 06:38 c6dd5dc0-34a5-4c7b-884c-803b500821fd -> ../../sdb3
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-04-29 06:38 df34331a-902a-4db9-b81a-5a5de7bd6bfe -> ../../sdb4

    My fstab


    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    # /dev/hdb1
    UUID=a8c89ed0-9098-4fe8-a1f4-1df583dba43b / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
    # /dev/hdb2
    UUID=07942e56-bfdc-42c4-a677-584adb007b02 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
    # /dev/hda1
    UUID=e6ef7d24-b684-43f4-9a20-58a081ceb5e3 /media/hda1 ext3 defaults 0 2
    # /dev/hdb4
    UUID=df34331a-902a-4db9-b81a-5a5de7bd6bfe /media/hdb4 ext3 defaults 0 2
    # /dev/hdd1
    UUID=2038-FFD0 /media/hdd1 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
    # /dev/hdb3
    UUID=c6dd5dc0-34a5-4c7b-884c-803b500821fd none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

    I edited the UUID in the fstab myself
    when I do

    $sudo mount -a

    the drive mounts and appears on the desktop.

    I just cant do anything with it.

    Any help is greatly appreaciated
