My guess is that you have NTFS file system.
DSL can only read this file system. (can not edit NTFS)

You might want to convert your file system to FAT32 if it is the case. FAT32 can be read and write with linux.

Open XTerminal and type "cat /etc/fstab". Check the filesystem type of your hd (vfat, ext2, ntfs, ...). If it is ntfs, you need captive.dsl from somewhere.

CD drives are normally mounted read-only with iso9660 filetype. You will have to use "cdrecord" to write to a CD-RW. Refer to other postings on the forum for more information on how to do this.
