As I can remember from manuals - if the file system on your usb hard drive is NTFS then it is read-only. I'm not 100% sure, but you should check manuals for details on that issue.

Problem is not ntfs, but driver in N3200 which does not support read-write access of ntfs (I think it is a copy-right problem, but who cares). Simplest way is that you plug your usb-hd into an usb on computer with windows XP/Vista OS and do whatever you want with your files on USB hard drive (delete, rename, move, ...). Also you can modify other systems (Linux or even emended Linux system on N3200) to have full support on ntfs, but this is not very simple task to do.

The problem is that NTFS support in linux is really shaky because Microsoft has not opened up the specs for (so linux hackeers have spent years reverse engineering it bit by bit.) It is thus relatively unsafe to rely on write opperations to ntfs under linux (and thus the N3200).
Ther IS a more reliable way of accessing ntfs from linux that does support read-write access, but i guess thecus did not dare to enable this because they would be at risk if their customers' files were corrupted, they would be to blame. Hopefully this will be a module in the future.
BUT I read that the usb disk COPY could not be deleted, that means that you cannot delete them AFTER you copied thm to hte internal disks? That is a different problem altogether, because now they will surely be copied to a linux native filesystem.
Is that the case?
I am asking because I have a similar problem. Everything i copied from a vista computer is fine, but everything i copied from a linux box cannot be moved, deleted or renamed. Hopefully Thecus will HELP US some time to fix this.

It is thus relatively unsafe to rely on write opperations to ntfs under linux (and thus the N3200). This is not true anymore and since quite a time: 1) NTFS suppport in Linux using the NTFS-3G driver software is considered to be safe. 2) Microsoft has already opened (was forced to open) the specs so this doesn't hold anymore. What do you mean? What way? Andreas
