-estwrite- uses Mata to write it's files (unless you use Stata 8 or
specify the -estsave- option). Maybe Mata has problems writing to the
portable HD. Try something like
mata
fn = "test.txt"
fh = fopen(fn, "w")
fput(fh, "whatever")
flose(fh)
end
or
mata
X = 1
mata matsave test X
end
Does this work?
