Hi, Perhaps it is mounted without write permission. To check that type mount and check if it says 'rw' in the line corresponding to the windows partition. If that is the problem, you can fix it as follows: umount <windows path> mount +w <windows path> If this helps, you can modify the /etc/fstab file for this to happen automatically. See man mount and man fstab for details. Another possibility is that the windows partitions is of type ntfs. In that case, you can't write there, but I guess it's not it, since you say you had write permission before.
