hi,

I created an image file at my hd and I cant delete it since its read-only file.
I used chmod to change permissions but it didnt work.

does anyone has any ideas?


thanks.

You wrote
an image file at my hd

Can you give some more information on this problem. Is your hd an NTFS partition. Also, the hd is by default read-only. You have to change that as well. I think those are the main issues here.

hi,

the result of fdisk -l command :

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda3 639 9729 73023457+ 83 Linux


now, what permissions do I need to change?

thanks.

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda3 639 9729 73023457+ 83 Linux
indicates a linux system

First boot knoppix without cheat codes, then try

chmod ugo+rwx /dev/hda3

which should add write permission.

If you boot reading knoppix.img, then you can't delete it. I think knoppix won't scan for it without the cheat codes.
