When i try to create a directory on my iomega 1000 GB external harddisk a get this message:
Can't create a directory. Check your permissions. I can read and copy files from the disk. Output from ntfs-3g -- help:

I am a Linux newbie. Can anyone help me with how to set permissions on my external harddisk. Some problems with the group permission?
