Try to start Kwikdisk as root and mount your disk , open in file manager and see what happens then. I had the same sort of problems and this fixed it. -- The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country." - George W.

I don't know about the iRiver but usually if I plug in a USB converter (SD cards, SmartMedias, etc.), I can usually read/ write to it without doing anything else.

As root, did you try something like # touch /media/usb-storage-000006BACD0C\:0\:0\:0p1/test.txt ? What happened? Or, try copying something to it as root and see what happens. Also, another thing to consider is, perhaps, there's a switch on the iRiver itself that prevents the contents from being overwritten. -- - E - on SUSE 9.1 | blackbox 0.70b2 | Panasonic CF-L1 Buffalo WLI-PCM-L11GP | copperwalls was here ;) "Look!

I am able to write as root but I get an error dialog stating that I don't have permission to write to the disk as a user. I'm a member of disk and wheel (hmm, is there a usb group too? I'll check that too). I'll try to see whether kwikdisk helps when I get home tonight. _________ Stephen If your desktop gets out of control easily, you probably have too much stuff on it that doesn't need to be there.
