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/

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
