    Obtaink,


    Right click on the folder that you wish to write to and choose properties.  From here, verify that "read only" isn't checked.  Also, some USB drive manufacturers make utility software to write protect their drives.  I'd check with support from the manufacturer to see if your drive is one.  Yet another option is that in some cases USB drives include a read only partition that contains encryption software or other manufacturer provided software or documentation.  Be sure that you're not attempting to write to that partition.  Sandisk does this quite often.
