Hi folks. Happy end-of-2022 to you, and best wishes for a "fossy" New Year.
In the fall, I set up a Dell laptop with Elementary Linux in a separate hard disk partition from the Windows that it came with. (I got this as a "salvage" computer from my then-work; I don't believe there was any problem with the OS, I just had no desire to use it for my personal computing.)
In the setup, I made a separate partition for most of the storage space on the HD, because it was recommended that the files for the OS be apart. I did something wrong with ownership of that 174 GB storage partition, though. I can "see" it as a disk named "174 GB Encrypted" but I cannot access it. Consequently, I have enough room to send and receive email, but not curate a lot of music or videos.
The Elementary setup used GParted and I have downloaded a copy of it to, potentially, run and make changes. But I don't know to what I should change the ownership of the "Encrypted" partition; clearly, I should change it to something I can access, but I'm pretty clear that I don't understand the disk structure and permissions well enough to be sure of what I'd doing.
I would appreciate guidance. In particular, I'd love to get the kind of access to expertise that used to be available at "Installfests" - although I understand why LUGOD isn't running any of those now! If someone is comfortable contacting me at this address, we can take the conversation off the list - unless there are others who want to find out how I climb out of this "HD hole." Thanks in advance.
