    It could be done with grub, by putting the the commands in the kernel line. after the kernel line you should see root=(drive location) then you can add ro after that to make it read write.

    you should be able to remount the drive with the ro permissions so you can modify files.

    umount (drive location)
    mount (drive location) -t (drive format) -w (mount location)
