Thread: Formated USB drive is read-only

i had 8 gb sandisk cruzer usb drive ubuntu 11.04 installed , since have 16 gb ubuntu 11.04 , 16 gb 11.10, thought i'd use usb drive ntfs data drive.

i've formated usb drive both gparted , "disk utility" ntfs format , in both cases newly formatted drive read-only.

if boot windows 7, usb drive writable

other usb drives i've not formated ubuntu utilities writable in ubuntu.

i've seen information terminal commands make writable, feel must overlooking basic. i've searched internet , found many same issue, no solutions other terminal commands.

might try format windows, seems should able format writable usb drive ubuntu,

ideas? thanks.

i think buntu level higher mine dave, did quick search.
