Hello, try the following:-- on your taskbar click on the safely remove hardware icon-- unplug your pen drive-- plug pen drive back in-- try saving files

Apologies if any of this was already posted in a previous question (I'm assuming that's what you're referring to when you mention steps that were said to "Batman").My first suggestion is to go to "My Computer" if you're using Windows (Finder/Nautilus/etc. if you're using another OS) and right-click on the drive. Click properties, and see if it has "Read Only" checked. If so, un-check it.If that doesn't work, assuming you can still read and access files on the drive, copy them to your hard drive and then try reformatting the flash drive.If you've already done the above steps, let us know what specific things you have tried and hopefully someone will have additional suggestions.
