[CoLoCo] partition write errors? help please.

[Andrew]

I have an external drive with the second half partitioned with fat32.
Normally i have had little or no issues with it. But, today on 8.10 i tried
to access it, and it open fine, and i can delete and drag copy files to it
fine. Unfortunately i cannot paste anything to it, nor can i do things like
create a symbolic link from one of the files. I did properties on it and it
said "the permissions of "disk" could not be determined". This might be a
bug in ibex, but I'm hoping someone can suggest a fix. I tried looking in my
fstab file, and there was entry for it, so i added an entry in my fstab file
and rebooted, but still no luck. It still keeps saying "error making
symbolic link: operation not permitted"
