That's strange. When I run gparted, I get a similar output:

======================
libparted : 1.7.1
======================
Unable to open /dev/hdc read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/hdc has been opened read-only.
Unable to open /dev/hdc - unrecognised disk label.

But gparted only scans for some seconds and then I can work normally.

Can you please post the content of /etc/fstab ?
Maybe it's a problem there.
