If your drive is mounted and enabled but you are denied access to it, you can change access permissions in the "Modify" feature. |

| 556783 | 2007-06-07 21:34:00 | Was it Kubuntu 7.04? If so the "/" root partition is hidden ( for some strange reason ) You can still get to it by typing the path into the konqueror address bar but the file browser will not "show" it to you.. annoying yes. I suppose they hide it so as to stop n00bs from damaging the system - a bad idea IMO - the whole idea of linux (for me at least ) was to learn, often by making mistakes...... |
