Changing Permissions of NTFS Partitons from “Read Only” to “Read & Write” in Linux November 15, 2007
Posted by Abhishek Thakur in Linux, Technical.trackback
Most of Linux users, having a dual boot operating system, face a problem of not able to write to NTFS partitions created by Windows operating system… the reason being NTFS partitions have “read only ” permissions.
A simple solution to this problem is a system tool – NTFS Configuration Tool .
Install and use NTFS Configuration Tool in linux -
( I’ll be using the example of Ubuntu 7.04 “Fiesty Fawn”, the one I am using nowadays …)
- Click on Applications/Add-remove.
- Type NTFS in the search box and select all available applications in show box.
- You will find NTFS Configuration Tool, select it to install and click apply.
- After the utility is installed click on Applications/System Tools/NTFS Configuration Tool.
- Check the required boxes and click ok.
Now your NTFS partitions have “read and write” permissions.
