If it is an NTFS partition, it is mounted read-only because writing to NTFS is still experimental in Linux. If it is FAT32, you need to set the umask=0 flag in /etc/fstab so that users can write to it. Since you can't write to it as root, I figure it is probably NTFS. It is not recommended to use Linux to write to NTFS. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
