Adjust file access settings on the external storage device.
Adjust file access settings on the external storage device.
Hello, Windows expert for over two decades. I understand this might be a very basic issue, but I’m struggling to get it right. I’m using Ubuntu 21.04 on a SSD, and I have another 1TB SSD with files from my Windows 10 system. These files are currently on the secondary drive, which boots from a third SSD. I want to install a game there but it’s read-only, and I can’t figure out how to get write access. I’ve tried using chmod and changing permissions in Nautilus, but nothing works. Is there a simpler solution I’m missing? Please help me resolve this. Thank you!
You'd need a different filesystem setup. It might help to reduce the partition size and use two partitions on the external drive. A filesystem such as ext4 or xfs would work better with Linux.

Hello everyone, I successfully made the NTFS partition writable using the mount command and ntfs-3g. I gained writing access and installed a game—Squad! Now, to run it properly in Ubuntu, I need to set read-only permissions on just one folder within this NTFS partition. Since chmod isn<|pad|> can’t be used here, is it possible to adjust the rights of a single directory on this partition?
