    permissions denied error

    Hi
    I started Knoppix from CD
    on MacBookPro
    and everithing seems OK
    connected external hard drives, everithing fine
    but when I try to make a new folder on any of connected hard drives it would not let me
    there is Error
    or if I want to move files from one external hard drive to another it would not let me

    can someone explain to me please whats wrong?
    I need to move some files from hard which is only shows up in Linux!!!

    Hey-

    Can you copy it to an internal drive? Or perhaps a flash drive? I'd be curious to know the esoteric details, but it sounds like you just want to move some files off a Linux filesystem. Perhaps you should upload them, maybe to a Google site, then download them with the MacOS.

    Cheers!

    situation is much worse

    I have 1TB Hard Drive, it is devided in 2 partitions: 1st Mac Extended, 2nd FAT32
    the one which is FAT32 does not mount on OS X
    when connect to Windows it feezes everything
    when I connect hard drive using Knoppix Live Cd
    I can see both partitions, it opens folders on FAT32 partition very slowly
    but it OPENS them.
    So I thought I'll move files from faulty drive that way, well, try.
    But it would not let me change anything on working partition
    or on other hard drive I connected,
    it seems like I do not have enough permisions?
    but why?

    So, assuming you are using 6.2 or above, your internal drive partitions are most likely mounted at /media/sda1 and /media/sda2 - you can open a terminal window and then (for instance)
    Code:
    ls -la /media/sda1|less
    which will display the owner, group and read/write permissions for that partition's filesystem and all the sub-stuff - it will freeze after one screenful and allow you to page up or down, etc. An external drive would probably be at /media/sdb1 (once it's mounted.) BTW, you can always type
    Code:
    man command
    to get more information on a command, or search google the same way.

    Try installing hfsutils.

    Start->Preferences->Synaptic Package Manager

    Search for hfsutils, mark for installation, apply.

    Not sure this will help in this case but worth a try.
