Can not write on an external USB Flash Drive
Asked by
Chakib
Hello,
This is probably very simple, sorry about that, I am a new Ubuntu user.
I am using Ubuntu 7.10. I am trying to use an external Flash Drive (4GB). When I try to use it, the system detects it and I can see the contents; however, for some reason it detects it as full. I tried booting into Windows and formatting it in "fat32", but I am still having the same problem. IT shows as 3.7 GB Used and 13.5 MB Free.
I right clicked on it and when to Properties, then I went to the Permissions tab and found that I only have "read only" access. I tried to change it and received a message "The permissions could not be changed"
How can I format the Flash drive and start using it?
Thanks,
Chakib
