Access rights

How can I get access rights to the other hard drives (windows-etc) on my system.
They are locked....

you must be root/superuser to access those disks. or edit fstab file and set umask=0 for normal users access.

Thank you for you reply,
I'm searching.
found fstab, I can open it.
as user I can't save it.
How do I set root/superuser in freespire?
or how can a user change the rwx on the fstab file?

I like freespire, but it has dummy locks.

You'll have to edit fstab as root. If you're doing it graphically, then you'll need to log into your root/administrator account. If your comfortable with the command line you can do it as normal user. To do it as normal user open a terminal and:
Code:
su -
[password]
nano /etc/fstab
You can, of course, replace nano with any preferred text editor.

Then just do what casper told ya to.
