If you dual boot Puppy and MS Windows,
and you have a save file on the MS Windows partition,
you must not run Puppy if you have shut down MS Windows in hibernate mode.
MS Windows Fast Startup is a type of hibernation.
You must disable MS Windows Fast Startup if you want to use the partition that MS Windows is also using.

If a MS Windows file system is mounted by Puppy as read-only, you might need to check and repair the file system using the tools in MS Windows, for example, chkdsk.exe.

How is Fossapup64 installed?
On what type drive?
Are you doing this in the Fossapup64 install booted and running?

What exactly are you trying to do?

here is how i fixed
put this script in the startup folder

#!/bin/sh
sudo mount -o remount,rw '/initrd/mnt/dev_save'

probably dont need the sudo but it works like a charm
