Permission Denied On USB Hard Drive

[Cherry5]

I'm trying to move some .jpg & .mp3 files from a USB hard drive that is formatted under MAC OSX (0xaf) to a Windows Vista Laptop.

I am using a Knoppix 6 live cd. Knoppix sees the laptop hard drive as

System /media/sda2
Vista /media/sda3
Recovery /media/sda1

and the USB hard drive as

disk2s1

I can see files on the laptop's hard drive but when I try to access the USB drive I get 'Permission Denied'

Can the files on this drive be transferred to the laptop?

Thanks for any help or suggestions

Have you tried

ls -la disk2s1

to get more information (owner, etc.), or sudo to make your requests with root permissions?

Hi

All I get is: ls cannot access disk2s1 no such file or directory

Okay, try this:

locate disk2s1

That should tell you where it is, I think. The MacOS disk format seems to be pretty challenging for other OSs...

Hi

Now I get this:

locate:warning:database '/var/cache/locate/locaedb' is more than 8 days old (actual age is 61.0days)

I think that "disk2s1" is the partition's label. Usually the partition gets a mount point in the directory /media and that mount point is named after the device name. In the PCMan File Manager the partitions are often identified by their label. You might try

ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/disk2s1

to get the device name. Execution of the command

mount

delivers information about the partition's mount point if it's already mounted. Afterwards you might execute

ls -la "mount point"

Example: The partition has got the label "Cruzer1" and the device name is /dev/sda1. The mount command delivers the mount point /media/sda1. Thus I would execute

ls -la /media/sda1

in order to see the owner, group and permissions.

If the partition has not yet been mounted then the mount command won't show you a mount point, but
you might try

sudo mkdir /media/macdisk
sudo mount -o gid=1000,uid=1000 /dev/disk/by-label/disk2s1 /media/macdisk
ls -la /media/disk2s1

If this does not work then mount will give you an error message.

/dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 type hfsplus (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,umask=22,uid=1000,gid=10 00,nls=utf

Your USB disk has been mounted on /media/sdb1. You may not write on it but you may read. Now you might run the command

ls -al /media/sdb1

to see owner, group and permissions of the files and directories.

After ls -al /media sdb1


root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix# ls -al /media/sdb1
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 2 knoppix knoppix 0 Apr 10 16:16 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 Apr 10 16:16 ..
root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix#

After ls -al /media sdb1


root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix# ls -al /media/sdb1
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 2 knoppix knoppix 0 Apr 10 16:16 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 Apr 10 16:16 ..
root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix#

Still Getting this:

Not sure if this wil help or not: in a root terminal, try:

aptitude update && aptitude install hfsutils

See if any of the above works better after that.
