If it has already been automatically mounted, it might not like being given another mount command without the "remount" option. A "mount -o remount rw /mnt/whatever (it's surely not called "sdb1" :() should do it. (I think the "remount" goes in the "-o" clause ... but "man mount" is made for people who have memories like mine). An FAT partition would be a good iidea, and get around possible problems with NTFS, though it might still need to be remounted with the rw option.	Graham L (2)
