[SLUG] File deletion problem.

[bill <billb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to move all files from an ntfs formatted hard drive which was 
previously used for download storage under XP to a 200gb hard drive 
formatted ext3 under kanotix.

Some files won't allow deletion even though I tried with both Krusader 
and MidnightCommander as root.

Ownership and user show as root.

When I try to delete files using MC I get a message " read-only file 
system (error 30)"

I'm assuming that this has to do with XP.

If I try chmod I get the same message.

How can I delete such files without  either using XP or re-formatting 
the drive?

Eventually I will reformat the drive but I'd like to know for future 
reference if there is a fix for this problem

Thanks

Bill
