Has it been saved as state "read only"?
I have had such problems where I stopped program when slow when putting
stuff on USB sticks.
Two things happened: a)no MBR set (so USB device does not open)
b) device in "read only state".
I scraped the USB sticks as I could not find any way to sort out.
Sorry to be of little help.
But my heart remembers these events.
