linux - I can not edit drive properies even when I use root

I use the gksu nemo (because my file explorer is nemo) command, yet when I go to the drive I use, I right-click, then go to properties I still cannot change the Permissions.


I have a 1TB portable hard drive, I partitioned it as 3 drives, one is like 100GB and it is ext4 for the OS, and the other is like 770 something GB and NTFS partition and I use that as main storage so I can access it on a Windows if I need to. The third is for Ubuntu and is only 100GB but I don't need to be able to write off that. I can write to it just fine, but Steam says I need to mount it with executable permissions so even though it says I do, I can't use Steam with it. I seem to not be able to execute files in general from it. I have to copy the files to the main OS partition in order to run them.


Am I doing something wrong?



/dev/sdc1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/donnie/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=donnie)
/dev/sdc4 on /media/donnie/Ubuntu Linux type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2)
/dev/sdc2 on /media/donnie/Donnie's Drive type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)

Donnie's Drive is the one I am trying to be able to mount and use steam.


The Ubuntu drive is just an empty 100GB partition on the drive I am going to use to install Ubuntu to.


Thanks everyone for your help. Once you told me it was an issue with the mount I looked into how to fix the NTFS partition mount in linux, I found an extension to install through the software manager and ran it, then I could tell the system to give read and write permissions to the drive. So thank you guys for all your help, I have fix the problem.
