After entering the user's password, you see the following error: "Cannot write or create file (file or disk is read-only): pernames.ntf" Notes client setup will not continue. Cause This error can occur if permissions are not set correctly in the directory containing the user's ID file. This directory must be readable and writable by the user running Notes.

file (file or disk is readonly) When trying to open an mailfile (.nsf) from a CD-Rom I got the following error: Error: "Cannot Write or Create File (file https://ongoingissues.wordpress.com/2009/08/24/lotus-notes-cannot-write-or-create-file-file-or-disk-is-read-only/ or disk is read only)" To work around this I copied the file locally, and right clicked the nsf file > Properties I then took of the "Read only" attribute (un-ticked) Once done the file then opened in Lotus Notes. This happens because Lotus Notes needs to rebuild the index and thus has no access when on read only.

Still I am unable to create any documents, attach files to my email. Worried….. Soumya Reply Jenny says : July 22, 2013 at 10:12 am This one is the most common issue with Lotus Notes. To work on Lotus Notes is not an easy task and when such error comes it creates a horrifying work experience for a user. Thankfully I was one from them but not now. Last April, I switched to Outlook from irritating Lotus Notes. Though migration is not free but it is secure with Stellar NSF to PST converter tool.
