Is it possible to mount windows drive in Ubuntu and make it writeable?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 772 / 2 Years ago, wed, june 15, 2022, 11:02:01

Running Ubuntu 12.04. I have Windows Server running in VBox... I can mount the Windows drive just fine, but no matter what I try I can't get it mount writeable.

The latest attempt looks something like this...

sudo mount -t cifs -o user,rw,username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD //192.168.1.20/websites /media/websites

The mount works just fine, but everything is readonly.
Any advice would be appreciated.

The answer is NO. It is not possible to mount a windows files system from a VBox vm in Ubuntu 12.04 (with write privileges).
