After a couple of minutes it stoped copping from the main drive and gave
me the message of no permission to write, but in the mean time it had
already written a directory with several files in it.
I didn't have this problem until I updated to the new kernal for Ubuntu
12.04 lts.
I considered upgrading to 14.04 but I have the old AMD graphics card,
and have the driver locked so it won't update.
If I switch to Ubuntu 14.04 an I going to have the same problem with the
graphics accelerator.
Thanks in advance;
Stephen.
