Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
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). <br>
<br>
What else can I do?<br>
<br>
Thanks,.<br>
Anthony<br>
