thankyou for the responses here.both drives are formatted Fat32 (vfat).
what I've noticed is strange is that the mount command only shows 1 drive:and yet the 120gb drive is also mounted and fully accessible and writable but ti doesn't show under the mount command.
I also unmounted the 149gb drive and remounted it using:the chmod command I used was:I had to enter my username and password to initially get to the drive in windows 11 but had no problem with that.
I didn't create samba users.
but still the damn thing will not accept any write. this is driving me batty.
