    How to gain access rights to USB hard-drive?

    When booting PartImage from a USB SysRescCD, at the PartImage 'root@sysresccd / root %' prompt, I try each of the following three commands:

    - touch /media/partimage
    - chown root /media/partimage
    - chmod 666 media/partimage

    And each time, I receive the following error message:
    'Changing permissions of 'media/partimage': Read-only file system.'
    The attempt is denied.

    How can I grant PartImage root access rights to this directory?

    If root cannot grant access rights, then who can???

    Please help!!

    This isn't about permissions. It's about the fact that the filesystem is mounted as read-only. So, we need to re-mount it as read-write. Try: mount -o remount,rw /media/partimage
