read only file system/USB driveForum: Other Help Topics Topic: read only file system/USB drive started by: shui Posted by shui on April 07 2006,04:41
Ok, I remastered DSL and I've got the ISO saved on a linux partition on a computer with no CD burner. The hard drive also has a Windows 2000 partition, which DSL tells me is a read-only file system, so I can't copy my ISO there. I have a 1 gig USB drive, which is big enough to hold the ISO, but I don't know how to mount it in DSL. It doesn't seem to be the same way I've been using to mount it in Red Hat.So how can I either get the ISO to the Win2k partition (which would allow me to copy it to the USB drive) or copy it directly to the USB drive?

Presumably the win2k filesysytem is ntfs, that's why it's read-only.The usb stick should be /dev/sda1 so you can mount it as vfat to mnt/sda1, I guess: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 Posted by safesys on April 07 2006,10:53
Should be able to mount the pen drive graphically by using emelfm by navigating to the /mnt directory, selecting the device (probably sda1 as pr0f3550r indicated) and clicking the right hand mouse button and selecting mount.
