So, I attempted to Suspend when I finished last night but the PC would not come out of suspend as has been the recent problem (as mentioned previously).
That means that I have 3 Libre Office spreadsheets that need resurrecting. This happens normally quickly and successfully without a problem. But not now.......
I have attempted to Save As each file, none of them will. I do not have permission. I have permissions set correctly on the Drive, and each folder and the file.
I cannot even create a new on the drive!
This is a brand new problem effecting a drive, folders and files I have been using for 3 weeks.
Anyone have any ides on this?
Thanks, Gareth
PS. Just checked another drive and I can't create a folder in that drive either.
It appears that although fastboot was disabled, Windows has the ability to turn it back on. If you access the command prompt in Windows and type in - powercfg /h off that turns it off permanently.
After restart both drives were unmounted, so I had to right click and mount but it appears that things are back where they were.
Unfortunately this is a very common thing that Windows will do, so it's worth checking every once in a while to make sure the things you turned off in Windows remain off. Glad you got it sorted!
I haven't had the fastboot reincarnation problem you did but I did have many of the same file management problems. For me it was because my data partition was still formatted in FAT for windows and as soon as I reformatted it to Ext4 all the permission issues went away.
