[NBLUG/talk] Adding a used second HDD

I think I failed to describe the problem properly.

I changed the mount to rw, but I still can't take ownership or change 
properties of the files. 

As root, I open /dev/hdd. All the files are owned by root.

I attempt to change the ownership or permissions and get the following result:


Could not modify the ownership of file /scratch/filename.txt. 
You have insufficient access to the file to perform the change.

Any ideas?

I thought I was omnipotent.
