Well he formatted a partition on his drive, and could not write to it. It is not like it was root. The only other way I would suggest would be chmod 751 ****. I figure there is no network, and no major security issue at home, therefore 777 should suffice, especially on new found drive space that will most likely be used for storage, but I may be wrong.
