Hi,
I have an external hd (filesystem: ntfs 3.1) that was originally used with windows, then ubuntu. Somewhere along the way permissions got messy... really messy. Somehow I wound up with a folder or two full of files that I can't even read from (or copy, or edit, ...) or change their permissions - with windows or ubuntu.
I have tried sudo chmod/chown, and the equivalent 'advanced' file ownership options in windows to try and fix the problem, to no avail. The files still say they are owned by root, but I can't access them as root.
Does anyone have a notion as to how I might get access to these files?
thanks.
