can't delete or paste to directory which is a windows partition!

[Santooka]

well i have this problem that whenever i boot and logon to my ubuntu , there's this partition that i have fat_files_2 , it allows me to paste and delete files and folders at beginning of the session , but after some few minutes it freezes these options , and i don't have a clue why it does that....
i mean i have the root permissions and everything , but i dunno y it freezes the writing permission.
and i dunno if it's only on this folder (partition) or is it on other ones too.

What do you mean you have the root permissions?

Press "alt+f2" then enter "gksudo nautilus" then there should be no problems to copy/paste.

well i tried that too b4 and it didn't work neither.

If those files are on a windows partition, the problem could be that windows wasn't shut down properly.

It it isn't, I don't know what the problem is.

the windows was shutdown properly 5 minutes ago and i tried to delete something and it was deleteed, but 5 minutes later i tried to delete another thing , there was no action done at all
from nautilus the list doesn't show neither cut nor move to trash
i tried to use the terminal and i tried to copy the file from its location to another directory and it told me that it's a read only folder that cannot be messed with.

Maybe your drivers allows read-only for NTFS partitions? Try ntfs-3g drivers.

Can you post the output of:-

cat /etc/mtab

[Santooka]

but that is a fat32 partition not a ntfs partition

Do the other FAT partitions other than fat_files_2 work properly?
