Error: read-only file system

    Hello,
    I downloaded the last version of RescueZilla (v.2.2).
    It recognizes all drives (both internal and external) correctly.
    But when I choose the destination of the copy, it tells me that the filesystem is read-only (I leave a screenshot attached).
    I have tried choosing both an external hard drive (ntfs) and an internal hard drive (drive d:) as the target drive, and the same error.
    Previously I was using an older version of the program and it works fine.
    Does anyone have that same error? How could I fix it?
    Thanks!

    Hi Anonymous,

    Most likely your destination NTFS filesystem may be hibernated.

    One easy way to test this idea is to try selecting the 'Restart' item from the Windows shutdown menu, rather than 'Shutdown'. Then immediately boot into the Rescuezilla USB stick.

    It's possible to disable hibernate entirely from Windows, but that's obviously not ideal.

    Let me know how you go!

    Thanks for your fast answer.
    These days I'm away on vacation.
    As soon as I get back to the office, I try it and tell you something.
    Cheers!
