Here is a snapshot of my fstab file. The USB Drive is a Ximeta disk connected via USB (/dev/sdd1) mounted to /media/disk.
I've tried changing the permissions using the Kubuntu gui from the desktop (Access denied), and also from a terminal as root using chmod. Here are the results of the latter:
Even after I perform the above commands, the drive will not let me (as a normal user) write or change anything. How can I change the permissions of this drive for real?
