Stories similar to How to store Wine related program files in Ubuntu 12.04 local discs

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 along with a few other Linux distros to a 64GB usb drive with a Windows program called "YUMI". I love Ubuntu and it's my favorite. The only problem I'm having is that when I download something I can't save it to the USB drive.

I mounted the USB drive and was able to create files from the terminal by using the sudo command.

I was finding that if any way to remove the installed windows program in ubuntu. then i found a forum here http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#uninstall_app.

Sorry if I'm repeating a question, but I searched & didn't find a thread that was directly on point.

I'm trying to save a .odt file to a virtual-machine shared folder in the /File_System/media directory on ubuntu, but I keep getting messages that the File System is read-only & won't allow me to save anything there.

I have been using PlayOnLinux to run windows programs on Linux. PlayOnLinux creates a virtual drive for each program installed and every VD represents a different Windows XP computer.

Any changes made by the program stay within its own VD only.

I have a RAID 1 system for my Win7. On the same computer I have a third disc, not part of the Raid, on which I have installed Ubuntu 11.10. I choose which OS to boot into at startup.

I'm a web developer, but new to linux. I am currently running ubuntu 11.10 with a gnome shell and wine (I think 1.3). I've installed microsoft office 2007, and worked through a small issue with powerpoint not running. So one little issue left, I can't save files, and I can't open files.

I've checked all over the various forums, and haven't found a solution yet.
