[SOLVED] File Permissions on external media

Hi,

I am unable to access any data on my external storage device. Even root doesn't have enough permissions to chmod or read write on the file.

Can anyone please help?

Regards,
Mehrzad

Since you're relatively new here, you should read stickied topics, like https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130309 (and the wiki articles it links to) and the FAQ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FAQ

Great wisdom lies within.
