Default Can't Access external HDD in PCLinuxOS

Hey guys,

I can't access my External HDD in PCLinuxOS as a normal user, although I can access it as the root. I keep changing the permisions to read write and Execute all users (I know it isa dangerous, no one else uses my Linux machine though) but it just keeps changing it back to the defult setting. Any ideas?

Jake

Default

use chown to change ownership of the drive or files on it and/or change /etc/fstab for user rather than owner usage
