Drives keep going "read only!!!"

[Brian Davison]

When I try to delete large amounts, the main drive goes "read only" and won't record.
If I try to copy out to a USB Drive (in order to reformat) the USB drive goes "read only".

Any idea what is causing this? It started happening in December, after I had had it set to auto shrink. I took that off but the problem remains

Looks like there is a dodgy file. Run a disk repair - see Quick Guide to Disk Recovery (click), which might not cure it, you might then have to go through eliminating possible culprits (or bite the bullet and run a reformat).

I'll try that, although it seems odd that it should affect not only the internal drive, but any drive I attach to it, drives that were fine before the fault developed.

Response to Puttytel when I try to get into maintainance mode (enter 1) is

-/bin/sh: 1: not found
humax#

You have the expert Telnet option turned on. Use "tmenu" to get the menu.
