Hi
I wonder if any of you gentlemen or ladies can help.
I'm a new user and by new I mean new. I installed Mandrake 9 on Friday (14th Feb 2003), after weeks of having nothing but problems frow my Windows system.
So far (Only two days I know) I've had no problems, except one.
I seem unable to access my floppy disk or either of my two CDROM drives, I know their there, I formatted a floppy disk and saved some files there.
On trying to retrieve them i was told I "Do not have permission to access the files" or something along those lines.
On opening the Home directory and going through the files to arrive at the /mnt folder, I was again told that I had not the relevent permission to access my files, looking at the floppy properties, I saw the 'owner' and 'group' listed at "root"
Logging in as root, giving the password I entered at install, I was told again .......well you get the idea.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to edit the file and do not wish to re type the whole thing.
If it helps my system is a Packard Bell Club 600 with a Celeron 600hz CPU, 1 DVD/CDROM, 1 CD writer, 128mb ram, 13GB HHD, solely for Linux. On board graphica and sound.
