Oxidd Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 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. Link to comment
chanders Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 This just happened to me. Anyone have a fix for this? Even when trying on another linux pc it is mounted read only.. Link to comment
Joe L. Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 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. Link to comment
solrac3 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 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... Link to comment
