can't write to fat partition

**tenui** · 09-20-2004, 02:38 AM

I'm using Knoppix 3.6 with encrypted persistant home directory on a machine with Win XP and Mandrake 10. I have a FAT32 partition as common ground between XP and Mandrake and I want to write to it from Knoppix.

Knoppix shows the partition as mounted read & write but I'm unable to write to it. Any idea?

Please give more details. HD install/type? PMI? Live CD? How are you running Knoppix - specifically are you running Knoppix from this same partition?

Running Knoppix from Live-CD. Apart from the WinXP and Mandrake partitions I have the FAT32 partition and a partition for the encrypted persistant Knoppix home directory.

Since the first post I've found that I can do:
sudo mount /mnt/hda(n) -o remount,rw

and then:
sudo mcopy......

nut it;s not very convenient when I have to transfer several files.
