ntfs usb drive is read-only file system?

[pythonscript]

I just installed LMDE and I cannot write to my USB drive. The USB drive is formatted as NTFS, and I have installed the ntfsprogs package. When I attempt to copy a file, I receive the message

Code: Select all

cp: cannot create regular file `filename` Read-only file system

How can I fix this? I want to be able to write to all my USB NTFS drive, so hopefully I won't have to add something specific to /etc/fstab for *every* drive.

If this were the latest Ubuntu or Mint it's because ntfsprogs removes ntfs-3g and without that you can only read.

See if ntfs-3g is still installed.

That fixed the problem. Thank you!
