Change Access Permission Of An External Hard Drive
by vw98008 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58S67)
I don't know where to post my question. I apologize if I post my question in the wrong forum.
I have a hard drive from a laptop with Linux. (I burned its CPU after trying to run multiple servers on the laptop.) With an adapter, I can boot the Linux distro on a desktop and use the OS as usual other than no sound.
I would like to have the drive as an external hard drive so that I can back up my files from other Linux boxes. I, however, can't save a file to the hard drive, nor run the access permission change command "chmod" due to the permission restriction.
Is a way to change the access permission in the hard drive?
