MMmmm-ok so run dmesg while running TC live or in my reg distro Ubuntu?
Under fstab and mount it says rw,  and here's dmesg-

See anything bad or what is the issue with this?
thanks alot!

I see nothing strange in that part. Are there any messages from mount time?
Ubuntu/TC doesn't matter, since both mount it readonly.

Might also be worth it to run dosfsck on the drive.

this might be a Kingston issue- I have 2 Kingstons (2/4GB) and a HP a810n AMD Athlon64 3300+ 2.4Ghz; This happens on either USB booting Tinycore.
Initially, I boot TC and tell it to save stuff to my usb, but it balks or something.
So, I saved it all to my HD (hda1); then moved it all to USB, and booted with this append-
"restore=sda1 tce=sda1 waitusb=10" and when booting it does the "chown" thing and I get a base TC with no apps,etc.
When I booted to my ubuntu desktop I inserted the USB and it would'nt even let me move/trash TC at all-to get it all off there I had to re-format it.
I tried chowning the usb and TC's stuff-no good- says "changing permissions of read-only fs-operation not permitted"
So, I then repeated the process, this time checking out the usb so it's read-write(always says it is); then, before putting TC/backups/tce on usb I changed all the permissions so everything was rw for everybody.
Well, that seemed to work, I could install apps and it restored apps/settings,etc too
Problem-at bootup, at the very end where it's displaying the apps it's restoring, at the end it says
"chown /mnt/sda1/tce operatiion not permitted" or similar.
Anyway-it works ok, but how can I get this working right??
Thanks again

OK gang, I think I got it fixed!
I have a "unofficial", but nice Tinycore-1.4.2-USB at my site, check it out-
