    Ok, It can access all the folders except one /home/Shared/Music
    It keeps saying permission denied

    Mount point for an NTFS partition?

    It's very rare that a directory has permissions of 700 as that one does. If it's on a Linux filesystem then you changed it to that on purpose and I would suspect you'd remember doing it. You usually see those permissions on an NTFS filesystem so the chances were good that is was a mount point for that partition.

    If you think it's a Linux partition then change permissions:
    Code:
    sudo chmod 2775 /home/Shared/Music
    Then change ownership:
    Code:
    sudo chown -R :plugdev /home/Shared/Music
    If at the end of this your permissions still look like this then the Music folder sits on an NTFS partition:
    drwx------ 116 blaze blaze 4096 Nov 23 14:19 Music

    Ok it worked, thank you for the help.
    One more thing. I just learned about shell scripts, how would I organize this into a script in case I need to do a clean install?
