as said , the disk is NOT read-only
why are you ignoring the hint to lacking permissions?
why do you not provide any useful outputs?

WHAt is the error-message you get?
what is the uncutted input and output in your terminal?
as which user you are calling whatever commands?
what are the permissions of what ever you trying to access?

WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU NOT PROVIDE ANY USEFUL INFORMATION
WITHOUT SOMEBODY GIVE YOU EXACT COMMANDS?

really, we are not here to guess what you are doing

if you think you do not need provide informations
without requesting them you are wrong on a mailing
list - this way you can act with a book but not with
people wasting their time trying to help you!
