I created a Lion USB bootable disk - but when I try to install Lion from the drive I - I get the message "This disk is locked".

Any ideas what to do now?

It would help to know what sort of USB disk this is - that would include what brand.

If a stick, some of them have a slider which locks it in read only mode.
You could right click on the drive and select Get Info and change the permissions.
You could use this handy piece of software to do it also - link.
