Hi Thomas.

sorry that it has taken a while to get back to you.
the drive failed completely, would not read or write.
i have perchased another drive, and that is workig ok.
the srange this is that if you use the Disks program in utilities. it
shows the drive as read only. this is what got me thinking that ubuntu
was at fault.

thank you for your time and assistance.

many thanks
Chris
