    Knoppix Live CD
    « on: September 02, 2006, 11:47:38 PM »
    My OS is XP Home Sp.2 with which I have no problems.

    Hardware:
    40g hdd, two partitions, file system NTFS
    80g hdd, four partitions, file system FAT32

    Newbie with Knoppix 4.02 Live cd.  Started to learn but hit brick wall already.  Wanted to copy/paste a file  from a NTFS partition to a Fat32 partition but get the message "Could not write to /MNT/HDB6/filename.ext".

    Can the live cd write to Fat32 :-?

    Any simple tutorials for the not-so-savvy :-?

    Thanks

    Try this:

    Close the window for the FAT32 drive.  Right click on the drive, select "Unmount".  Right click on the drive again; select "Properties". Go to "Device" tab.  Uncheck "Read only"; click Ok. Open the drive again.
