Hi

Recently installed Ubuntu, I've got 2 * 500GB HDDs, mounted and partitioned, but I don't have read/write access to them, only root does.. How can i get access to save files and create folders etc?!?!?

thnx

Re-install Ubuntu. Create a "root" (/) partition, a /home partition and a small swap partition on one hard drive. Worry about the other drive later.

Can you please post the contents of /etc/fstab, it sounds like you need to modify the mount options so regular users have full access.



cat /etc/fstab
and also can you post the output of:


ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/


EDIT:
and the output of:


sudo fdisk -l
