Unable to write to mounted drive

[driscollw]

Hello,
I have read through the forums and have gotten my secondary sata drive to mount but, I am unable to write to it ? trying to mount sdb1 to /media/SATA2. The drive mounts and shows a 80.0GB drive on my desktop, just can´t use it ? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Here is my fdisk -l

Maybe a matter of permissions:
sudo chmod 777 /media/SATA2

[driscollw]

That fixed it. What do I need to put in my fstab to do this on bootup ?
Thank you,

This is an example. Change to your needs correspondingly:

# /dev/sdc2
UUID=d7613213-0687-4000-a4ba-6fef1a95d082 /media/sdc2 ext3 defaults 0 2

Get the UUID with 'blkid' in Terminal

Thank you very much, I edited my fstab and after a reboot everything is working fine.

You are welcome. Good luck.
