How can I gain full access to my SSD on Linux?
Asked by

Hey everyone, I've recently switched to Linux Mint Xfce and have a SSD that I unplugged before installing the OS for safety reasons. Now that I've reconnected it, I can only view and copy files but can't modify anything. Does anyone know how to get full access to the SSD?

First off, what file system is your SSD using? If it's NTFS, you might want to make sure you have the necessary tools installed. Using a terminal command like `ls -lR` can help you check the ownership and permissions of files on your SSD. The command will give you details on who can read and write to those files.

User_Explorer: Got it! I'll check the file system and run that command to see the permissions. Thanks!
