Re: Installed to wrong drive. Can I fix/clone this easily to correct drive?

You have a permission problem. If you right click and Properties/Permissions tab you will see that the owner is root.

If you want to change the permissions on your data files, you can do this:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /top-level/path/to/files

Re: new install of latest MX - issue with NTFS drives being locked

What you want is to "Label File System" in GParted, that's for a new one or to change one. Like 'Windows 7' to 'Windows_7'.

Re: Problems changing password, MX-23 [Solved]

I am wandering why did you not use 'MX User Manager' to change the password? It is nice to search the web for things ( may not be correct ) but next time maybe search your OS to see what it provides.
