can't write to windows partition
Hi friends! I have a problem with Windows partition. When I boot my laptop with a LiveCD (Wifislax from LFS), I can't write into windows partition, located to /mnt/sda1. But I have installed on my laptop Ubuntu, and it allows me to write in the Windows partition.
Why I can't write on the Windows partition with the LiveCD??
Thank you very much!!!!

It looks like LiveCD is not using ntfs-3g while mounting NTFS Partition. Other reason could be root privileges.
Have you tried to write in NTFS partition as root user? In case it doesn't work, gain root privileges through sudo or su and try to mount sda1 again.
Try to create folder or file in /mnt/sda1.Code:sudo umount /dev/sda1 sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 -o defaults,umask=0
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
