I had sent a previous message with screen prints but tha proved unfortunate as the message exceed 40kb. the error message from the systems settings screen reads like this:
 "  "UUID=d4231fcd-b695-40bf-87fa-d62e84377ca7" does not seemto be a device and the option "bind" has not been specified in the "Advanced Page?  Should I add the "loop" option?" "



I answered "yes" and now when I go back to the same screen, the only option shown is "loop". But I still don't have write access to the drive.



ps the drive is shown as owned by root in the permissions screen.

System Settings? What's that? And what changes did you make there?

Please give the exact error message

What for? "mount -a" mounts all filesystems in fstab. However, the
device in question (sda1) has the "auto" option anyway and should be
mounted upon boot

Why are you desperately mounting the drive? You said you can read from
it, so it must be mounted already.

Can you please give the output of "mount" as I requested? It would be
best to reboot and then issue the command so that we get the output
without you having messed around
