hmmmm. It is mounted as rw and it doesn't recognize the command sudo. It comes back with:
zsh: correct 'sudo' to '_sudo' [nyae]?
and if I say 'y' it says:
_arguments: comparguments:312: can only be called with completion function.
In your case you might not have the disk mounted as rw but as ro.
Check that then try "sudo su -" to get to root and rerun you em command

Then I noticed that I'm not root.root@sysresccd /sda3 % su
su: Authentication failure
root@sysresccd /sda3 % sudo rm -rf sda1
zsh: correct 'sudo' to '_sudo' [nyae]? y
_arguments:comparguments:312: can only be called from completion function
root@sysresccd /sda3 % su root
su: Authentication failure
root@sysresccd /sda3 % su root <password>
su: Authentication failure
root@sysresccd /sda3 % man su
root@sysresccd /sda3 %
So this is my live cd so I figure that not being root is cool but how do I delete the files?
