I believe that you were sent an email with a reply to this question on November 8. You may want to check your spam folder.
Unlike the 3.X environment, the 1.3 system hardfile used to boot many games and the Workbench 1.3 environment is write protected by default to prevent corruption, as this particular system is generally used for gaming, not for productivity.
In a future version of Amiga Forever there may be an option for this. So far, yours was the first case where having this partition protected turned out to be an annoyance, whereas in the past it was more easily damaged and now this isn't the case any longer.
The read/write status can be modified manually, for example by using Notepad to edit the applications.xadml configuration file.
You described that you have Windows Vista, so applications.xadml should be in:
C:\ProgramData\Cloanto\RetroPlatform\Amiga Forever\Catalog
Right at the top of the applications.xadml you will see the section for <title>Workbench 1.3</title>.
Go to line 25, and edit it as follows:
<boot type="hdf" readonly="true">135</boot>
->
<boot type="hdf">135</boot>
Save the file, and refresh the content of the Applications tab, if open (press F5). From now on the Workbench 1.3 boot partition will not be write-protected.
