Can't read and write from hard drive

  • 772

I have a 1TB hard drive that I recently got, but the problem is that even when formatted I am unable to read and write from the hard drive. Any suggestions? I've tried reformatting it, but the results were the same. The only thing I can think of is that the drive is only accessible by the root user, which is not very convenient.

nautilus

    What I ended up doing was going into nautilus as root.

    sudo nautilus

    Then, at this point, I was classified as the owner of the hard drive and able to change the permissions to the user.
