Two things...

First my external harddrive keeps saying it is read only and I can't do anything with it, not even as root... Second my traveldrive has been working great all the time and now it is telling me it is read only and I can't do anything with that as well... How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Nomb

Mounting read-only happens usually when filesystem is damaged. Unmount drive(s) in question and run filesystem check-repair utilities on it.

HINT!
In the future choose a better title, one which describes the nature of the thread. This helps to improve search, which helps others who encounter this issue in the future, and also gets more people to read your question when they would otherwise skip threads with "help" or "urgent" in the titles. In other words, help encourage others to help you.

Thanks!

1. I am helping you by helping you learn to use messageboards more effectively
2. Did you do what Emerson said? It appears you already have the first step to work on.
