Hi guys, I need some help here. I'm new to Linux and I just built a system. I have an 120gb SSD where my Linux mint 14 is installed and I have a 1TB HDD for my downloads. I kept getting this message when I click on the drives both the SSD and HDD and I get the error message "unable to mount location" , "Can't mount file". I'm not too sure whats going on but I would like to get this problem solved. I've tried looking around on google to find a possible resolution but couldn't. Heres what I get when I type SUDO FDISK -1

Can you guys please help. The same thing is happen to my 1TB HDD as well. Thanks!
There should be no problem in mounting the partition on the SSD (/dev/sda1); in fact if you type the "mount" command, without any parameters, it should show that the partition is already mounted on "/". As for the 1TB disk; until you partition it, and create file systems in the partitions that you create, you won't be able to mount it.
Hey thanks for the prompt reply. I was now able to mount my 1TB drive. Now when I try to save some of my files over to it. This is what is says: "\/media/ronbethune/Storage/night_valley.jpg could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.
Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location."
I've tried looking into the properties of the drive, but theres no option for me to modify the permissions. Please help and thanks!
You're not looking for properties of the drive but at the permissions on the folders (starting at /media). An introduction to Linux permissions: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorial...
