Dear folk, stupidly I cancelled a half written linux with uNetbootin to
a USB key. I find it mounts 'read-only' and GParted will not reformat.
Is there a way to recover a usable USB Key from 'read-only' status to
read-write status?
Any help appreciated.
I have found that sticking it into a windows box and following the
prompts for reformatting does the trick, afterwards you can reformat
with linux to whatever you like.
