When I check permissions on the media folder (LEWIS) it says read-write.
When I look in the volume (LEWIS) and try to rename a file it says:
"Failed to rename "filename.ext" read only file system."

LEWIS is an old Windows 95 hard drive in a usb conversion kit.
when I try to change group or permissions it appears to work, however the permissions do not change.
