Re: [Staffslug] How do I...?
Well if you can get it as root then why not archive it off somewhere,
format the disk as ext3 and extract the archive to it?

Yes. I ran the Konsole and then went in as super user. It did appear
to make changes to all the files on the hard drive. So it did
something. The peculiar things is that the USB key mounted at the
same place and was instantly fully read and writable. The
difference..... it's FAT32 format while the HDD is ntfs. I do of
course have ntfs3 enabled. I can also get at the stuff as root so it
does mount and it is purely a permissions thing. This is perhaps the
only stumbling block I have with this. I think it's time to take it
to the Kubuntu forums..
