Wunnerful helpful error. SO helpful. SO informative... "YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO WRITE TO THIS DISK..."

Has ANYONE ever been able to do this?

It would help immensely to know how...

Lets see if I can remember this one correctly. I am not logged into KNOPPIX right now, but here goes:

Make sure that your desktop Icon does not have a little green triangle at the bottom. Otherwise, you need to right-click on your drive/partition icon and choose UNMOUNT from the context window.

THEN, right click again on the icon and go to properties and the device tab and uncheck the Read Only checkbox. Then left-click on the icon and you will re-mount the device with read and write permissions. Also, a Konqueror file manager window will appear with the contents (files and directories) of your drive partition.
