Mandriva 2.16.17 -5mdv, KDE

I can see in Konqueror that there are files in media:/hdb1 dr-xr-xr-x, they are owned by host. This disk is the data repository of an old W2k NTFS system. I would like to change media to drwxrwxrwx.

I have tried --
[root@localhost media]#pwd
media
[root@localhost media]# ls
[root@localhost media]#_ is the response, there is no listing of the files

chmod a=rwx filename does not work because the named file cannot be found.

help?

(and is there a command to change the entire directory?)

You need to mount the partition..

mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt

While you can read ntfs partitions with linux, attempting to write to them is very risky.

For r/w mode I think you will need to look at this. http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
