USB FAT-32 is read only
Hello everyone 🙂,
I have a 16GB usb stick and i only use it on my mac. Today i wanted to use it and tried to put some files onto it but it didn't work. The first thing i did is check the info and there it said under Sharing & Permissions: You can only read. Nothing else nothing to change the permissions or anything. Next thing i did was check the internet and see what they are saying... i tried fixing my problem with Disk Utility but it is coming up with an error that says:
Could not change the partition type for /dev/disk0s2 - Resource busy
When i try to erase it, it says:
Disk Erase failed with the error:
Unable to write to the last block of the device.
When i try to verify it there is also an error:
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
but the all the buttons (Verify Disk Permissons, Repair Disk Permissions, Verify Disk and Repair Disk) are greyed out 😟
The good news is there is only one file on it which i really don't care about, the bad news is i don't want to go to the shops and buy one (only if there is reaaallyyy no way of fixing). I need the USB stick for school so it would be nice if someone could help.
If you want i can post some screenshots of the errors.
