    How can I give read/write permissions to my new 2nd internal drive

    I installed a 2nd hard drive and formatted it using Gpartd. I don't know how to make it readable so that I can move my images over to it. When I try to move a file, I get "permission denied". Can anyone please help me out on this?

    Thanks!

      Thanks, roblate, it now works. I have a second issue regarding mounting/permissions. I have a second partition on my primary drive that I need to mount. Is there a tutorial that covers that situation? Thanks.

        What is on the partition? Do you know how it is formatted?

        Open a console and type:
        Code:
        sudo fdisk -l
        (that's a lower case L)
        Copy/paste the complete output in your reply. While still in the console, type:
        Code:
        cat /etc/fstab
        Copy/paste the complete output in your reply.
