Top-posting is very bad form, dude. Please post your new message below what

On 2007-07-24, pbl <nibble@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> rambled on thusly:
permissions for the drive I get a cannot change permissions error. This is
the same for 3 bootable versions of Linux I have used. I know both of my
drives are working fin but I'm beginning to think they may be somehow locked
by Windows XP.
It's not locked by Windows XP, it is simply that Linux by default cannot
write to NTFS partitions. You will need to install the fuse and ntfs3g
packages for your OS. Unfortunately, since you are using PCLinuxOS, I can't
help you with that. In Ubuntu, you'd be a short "apt-get install ntfs3g"
away from getting that to work.

I'm sure that that could be indented more readably, but I'm scared of
the awk parser.
