I looked this issue up in the archives, but while I found that others
seem to have this problem the one thread I found didn't give a solution.
When I insert my USB memory stick into my laptop it comes up as
read-only. I am no longer able to save files to it. I can't find
anything physical on the device which might have been set to read-only.
So does anyone have any ideas?
As I recall there are some USB sticks that have software (for Windows)
where you can set a r/w flag on the device to "protect" it. If this were
the case you'd need to use it in a Windows system with that software to
see if you can unset it or reformat it without the protection to see if
it'll work properly on the Linux system.
Could that be the case? What model is the drive in question?
