17 Do you have rw permission set to the contents of the the formatted
18 harddrive? For example, if you want the whole thing to be rwx, do
19 chmod 777 /mnt/C/* -R. I personally, would do this:
20
21 find /mnt/C -type d | xargs chmod 777
22 find /mnt/C -type f | xargs chmod 666
23
24 This will make all directories in the drive writeable, readable and
25 executable (necessary for dirs) to everyone. All files will be readable and
26 writeable to everyone.
