hi maybe you have to work with the directory permission only root can read and write on directory and group and user can do nothing so the directory is locked for user take a try on the usb root properties of the fat32 boot directory if you can play with...i have read that fat32 do not deny the read action but the write action yes so i think you can work with the properties
tks! I am trying this right now. I try to change the permissions of the fat32 partition, but it says the owner of the partition is "guest" and I can't change it, no matter what method I try. I am logged as root, I tried using the GUI (properties of the drive), I tried with terminal using:

Code: Select all

chown -R root /mnt/sda1
from this source: https://askubuntu.com/questions/512514/ ... rnal-drive.

Every time, it says "Operation not permitted". Any idea why?

like user you can't have the permission to work with partition and also in teminal you can't use the fdisk -l or dmesg i can confirm you also arch linux have the boot directory owened by root or slackware too, what software have you used to do the fat32 partition

There is something here about FAT32 not taking permissions : https://superuser.com/questions/915596/ ... 20members.
I used AOMEI to do the partitions.
