Re: Error writing in external hard drive
Couple of ways to do this. Just depends on your needs I guess.
Change the owner to you.
Otherwise you can change the permissions:
Of course, 777 means everyone. Adjust it as needed.
Hope that helps.
Change the owner to you.
Code: Select all
chown -R <your login name>:<your login name> /media/Backups
Code: Select all
chmod -R 777 /media/Backups
Hope that helps.
