Before, I could save images downloaded from the web in the Windows partition. Even I could transfer files and all that. But today, I can't do it anymore.

Some days ago, I was trying to resize Ubuntu and Windows partition. I downloaded GParted, and I tried to shrink the Windows partition, then increase the Ubuntu partition, but as I couldn't do that, I never applied the Windows' shrinking.

I mentioned this because I think it caused this problem. When I tried to transfer some file or save an image from the web as I did before, there appears a message which says the partition has no writing permission, that is read-only, or something like that.

Could someone help me? If you need more specific info, ask me please.

I already solved it. I looked up on the web, and this worked. howtoforge.com/ntfs_3g_ubuntu_feisty Unfortunatelly, I don't do it methodologically. First I went to Synaptic and searched ntfs, such as indicated in the link. But at the same time, I was uninstalling GParted. It seems GParted install others things with it, wich affects the default writing permissions on ntfs. So I dont know wot solvd the prob. After that, I tryed to "write" on the Windows partition and I get the same message. Then I reboot hoping it was all needed, and it was so. I can write on Windows partition again. – Luis J.
