Maxtor external hard disk and OpenSuse


Hi I bought the Maxtor 750GB One touch for plus and I connected it to an Opensuse 10.2.
The system recognizes the disk, I can explore the directories but I dont have write and copy access to the disk. The disk exist inside /media/ at it seems that it is mounted.

It might be that the disk is pre-formatted as NTFS, in which case you need FUSE/NTFS3G. Or it may be FAT32 and mounting with permissions that don't allow users to write.
