HD Install :: Filesystem mounts in read only

well i have a HDD install, i just ran the "install to hard drive" in the apps>tools menu. I want to run my OTHER HDD as non-read only.

I edited fstab before (very crapply) and it just replaced the "ro"'s when i rebooted. I would also like this HDD to mount on startup if thats possable.

how I edited it crapply goes as so; I opened fstab in scite, edited the file, then saved it into a diffrent directory. Then, as root, copied it over the old fstab file, this seemed to work but theres a better way of doing it i dont know about isnt there?

Yeah, just type:

sudo scite

from the command prompt and your scite window will have full root authority.

Even better:

sudo scite /etc/fstab
