Hi Chris,

Thanks for the info. So the system has assigned sda5 as the drive name for
the USB drive now. So I did a sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/sda5 and then an sudo
chown -R root /mnt/sda5. It went through every file on the drive but did not
change the filesystem from Read Only. I'm not even sure I own it now (I
probably don't since read only would probably prevent the system from
reassigning owner).

What else can I do?

Thanks,.
Anthony
