July 14, 201015 yr Anybody ever had a problem with their usb key being converted to READ-ONLY? Last week, everything was fine. but now, it's in read-only mode. there is no switch on the key to lock/unlock. I cannot remove the partition. Tried in linux, tried in windows 7, no luck. Tried a low-level format tool, can't format it. I wrote limetech if by chance I can get a new key file for my other usb-key. I hope I get it.
November 4, 201015 yr This just happened to me. Anyone have a fix for this? Even when trying on another linux pc it is mounted read only..
November 4, 201015 yr This just happened to me. Anyone have a fix for this? Even when trying on another linux pc it is mounted read only.. Put it on a window's PC and run scandisk/chkdisk on it. It probably has some file-system corrupotion and is being mounted as read-only to prevent further damage.
November 4, 201015 yr Happened to me. I could not figure a way out after trying everything... Personally, I copied the important settings from it (using Linux) and started again by formatting and recreating. It is working again... I blame it on some testing I was doing mixed with starting up and shutting down and removing the PenDrive while the system was Running... Will never do it again... 2 Cents...
