[QUOTE="scathe, post: 1422773, member: 81672"] Those commands will effectively change the owner of that directory (chown) and then give everyone read/write/execute permissions (chmod 777). The syntax is correct as well as the password behavior as mentioned above. Using the 777 mask is not a great idea, but for your purposes it might not matter, considering you probably don't care about correct permissions on the old drive. Please consider copying files individually and not transferring over the complete home folder. [/QUOTE]
