[QUOTE="Elvarko, post: 1641942, member: 344551"] G'Daye, I am new to the forum and have less than zero, well maybe not that low, Techo knowledge!! I have been backing up on my WD Elements for over a year now and all of a sudden a error message comes up " cannot back up as disk is read only. So I sapped the Elements for a WD Passport, formatted and backed up. all was good, back up worked, THEN Error message, Cannot write to file as read only!!! I checked the info and sure enough the drive is read only but I could not change it? Screen shots attached and if anyone can help I will really appreciate it, Cheers [/QUOTE]
