Boot porteuX 2.1, attempt to update grub2 menu, can't save the update, drive read only, reboot to porteus 5.01, update the grub2 menu, save it.
Could save these images to the EFI drive for posting later.

NTFS partitions shouldn't be read-only. Please, add the following cheatcodes at the boot menu once:
This should fix any error in the NTFS partitions and make them writable.

Thanks. Never have had to do this with porteux before, or porteus, even after rebooting to it. Will try it later and get back to you.porteux wrote: ↑04 Jun 2025, 18:39This should fix any error in the NTFS partitions and make them writable.Code: Select all

I haven't tried the fsck code yet but this is the same drive, porteus 5.1 view.
Similar views for the nvme0n1p5 drive on both systems.
Does the fsck code work for all drives or just the boot drive, which for me is an ISO.

PorteuX 2.1 bug reports

Ed_P, Could you start Gparted and see if there is a warning sign about dirty bit, "Information" in partition context menu?
For example, I still get this: NTFS3 Kernel Module (Post by rych #99942) and would fix it by running under root:
In your case, GParted might also report that it's mounted read-only, and why.
Porteus still uses a different driver by default, ntfs-3g. In Porteus, could you run something like
in order to confirm that?

Just to let you guys know that PorteuX comes with a proper NTFS fix utility that avoids using Windows at all.
It can be called either by 'fsck' cheatcode during boot time, or 'check-filesystem' after boot (requiring the units to be unmounted).
