Just type: Code: sudo apt-get update [ot] You might want to look at the 'Getting the most from (X/K)ubuntu' sticky[/ot]
I have done it already.... While searching I got one forum from where I've installed the codecs, flash, updates, win32 Kernel(something like that, I dont know exactly what it was..) and many other things...... But my problem with accessing HDD is the same.
I've recently noticed that I dont have Write access to those drives...It says "Couldn't change the permissions of "hdb5" because it is on a read-only disk"
