Hi all,
Long-time 'lurker' here.
I've been on this mailing list for eons. Dabbled in Linux and currently
have a couple of elderly laptops running various distros (Kubuntu and
Mint Mate). Mostly a good experience - not least because it's saved a
few bits of kit from the recycler or landfill!!
I also fiddle about with a Raspberry Pi (well, three!) running a mixture
of Linux and RISC OS (yes!!!)
Anyway, since M$ got all stroppy and are forcing everyone off Win 10
(and I got equally stroppy and said "f###-you M$"!), I've now started
transitioning my main office PC to Linux. I've gone with Linux Mint
(cinnamon) as I've used it on one of my laptops and it's solid and I can
find my way around most of what I need to do.
So . . .
Main system disc (containing Windows 10 + apps) removed from PC.
New 1TB M.2 drive installed. Linux Mint installed. Pretty much without
incident :-)
Here's where I'm stuck...
My PC has several additional hard-drives installed. Some are
partitioned. Windows 'saw' them as drives "D","E"... etc.
Linux Mint is 'seeing' these drives/partitions (all NTFS), but
steadfastly refuses to let me do anything on them. This is very
unfortunate as ALL my work files, video projects, audio mixing projects
etc., etc. are stored there. Yes, I COULD copy the contents onto my 1TB
'linux' drive, but that seems very wasteful. I'd much rather be able to
access the drives/files normally from Linux. I'm SURE I've done this
before, somehow, but can't remember!
I've tried using things like "chown" to take ownership of the folders,
but "computer says no". "Read only filing system".
Command-line stuff is really not my thing, and I end up swearing at the
screen and going to make tea.
Any help/suggestions very welcome . . .
Be kind :-)
TTFN!
Ruth
