Clive, thanks for the directory listings. My solution would have two steps. While the external disc is mounted, run:
$ sudo mkdir /media/CAW1/clive $ sudo chown clive:clive /media/CAW1/clive User clive should now be able to store anything in /media/CAW1/clive (but not directly in /media/CAW1). To tidy up, the file you've already put in /media/CAW1 can be moved into /media/CAW1/clive by $ sudo mv /media/CAW1/IMG* /media/CAW1/clive That's my solution; if it doesn't work please send the output of $ ls -lR /media I think Ralph had some simpler solutions ... Leave lost+found severely alone, for it is used (IIRC) by fsck, the program that occasionally checks the integrity of filesystems. Best wishes for your trip abroad!
