Iīm just a few weeks old on this Linux/Knoppix-thing and everything seems to work out fine, Iīm learning by the day but thereīs still one thing I havenīt been able to figure out. Can I move files to ANY OTHER point on my computer except for my /home directory?

Iīm not currently on my computer because my ISP has problems with my modem and so on, long story that has nothing to do with Linux/Knoppix, so I canīt really provide logs and so on...

I have two physical hddīs in my computer, the big one - unfortunately - has NFTS on it so it stays read-only until I can get the other one working properly. And the other one then, hda1 (ext3)-> boot drive, hda2 (ext3?)-> intention was to use this as storage.

I used cfdisk to create one partition out of two others, one which had WinXP on it, thus ending up with hda2 unformatted. I tried to find a way to format the partition and found QTParted. So now itīs got a file system, at least it says it does. So even if I mount it I canīt for the world move nor remove files from that partition, NOR files outside of the /home directory on hda1 EVEN if I change read/write status (by right-clicking, Actions -> Change Read/write). Same goes for my MP3-player, sda1.

Iīm quite convinced this is just a newbie-problem but itīs really bugging me out that I canīt use my HDDīs, I just want to use them the same way I did in Windows...

Thanks..!
