[QUOTE="kage, post: 1653105, member: 349100"] Hello, I have a 32.0 GB Sandisk cruzer that I've been using without problems for awhile. Yesterday it worked fine to transfer small files from a PC to my Mac. Today,it went to "read-only" on my 2008 macbook pro (running OS10.9.5). Under "Get info" I see it is in FAT32 format, but under "Sharing & Permissions" it says "read-only" with no options or locks to change it. I have tried using disk utility to erase/reformat, but all of the options are greyed out. I tried to reformat on a PC, and was unable to due to the read-only permissions. Can any one help me or is this a lost cause? [/QUOTE]
