Hi Folks,

Got a PC in with the C: drive hosed to Windows but readable with
Knoppix.

I can attach a USB memory (Kingston) stick to it can copy stuff to that
just fine by simply right clicking on its icon and selecting
Actions/Change read write mode. Problem is some subdirectories are WAY
too big for this.

So I attach a USB HDD (Iomega) to it and do the same thing and get
"cannot create folder". So I right clicked on if and hit Properties and
made sure it was read/write for all "users" and also unchecked the Read
only box (even though I had to do NONE of this with the Kingston),

Any idea what is going on.

Additionally we had a LaCie NAS and I cannot get that connected either.

Oh what fun!

Chuck
