Is there something I can do to keep it | from being mounted as read-only? | I have tried unmounting it and inserting it into another USB port, with the same results. | I am going to reboot my desktop to see if I can | resolve this issue. If that fails, I | intend to copy all the files off the USB drive, format it (as FAT32), and then restore the files. The reboot did not resolve the issue. Next, I will try copying the files from the USB drive, reformat it, and then put the files back on.
