Why don't i have permission to save to my imoega drive

this flash is write protected by a pass word

Hi there, It sounds like your network administrator has locked your ability to write to certain folders. If this is a home hard drive, the only way to fix this would be to completely reinstall windows. If it's a work computer, you need to talk to your IT Department. -Alex

it is probably because the format of the drive is different. try the following.

1. Back up all the data on the drive or on the device to another location to make sure that no important information is lost.
2. Click Start , click Computer, right-click the drive or the device, and then clickFormat.
   
   If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
3. Select the NTFS (default) file system in the list.
4. Click to select the Quick Format check box.
5. Click Start.
6. Close the Format Local Disk dialog box after the formatting is finished.

Connect your computer to its AC power-adapter, to provide more power to your computer, and thus to activate the USB ports. You may need to restart, to enable the USB port(s).

This (and other problems having to do with accessing the drive or its folders) can be solved by:

1. Removethe drive from its case
2. Plug it into a computer
3. Boot the computer to a Linux-based OS -- if you don't have a PC running Linux, download one of many Live CDs images available, e.g. Knoppix, and burn a CD with it (Live CD images are bootable), then boot the PC using the CD
4. Login as the root user and open a terminal session
5. If necessary, 'umount' the drive, e.g. 'umount /dev/sda2'
6. Run 'xfs_repair -L <partition>' where <partition> is the partition to be repaired - in my case it was /dev/sda2, so running...

xfs_repair -L /dev/sda2

...was the command to do the repair. Note that the command is cAsE sEnSiTiVe.

You may get a message about destroying a log file (that's what -L does) -- it's OK -- I've had to do this several times and no harm has come of it.

The process can take several minutes, and at the end there may be a message about a bad superblock -- this is also harmless, so far as I've seen.

7. Power down the PC
8. Remove the drive, put it back in its enclosure, and Voila! -- all should be OK upon booting it up!

You need to set up the hard drive so that your user name has full permission to use the entire drive. This problem is most often found in MAC computers. But either way, installing the software for the hard drive on the computer should help resolve this problem.

maybe your file permission is read only. Go to my computer, browse your file. Right click and choose Properties. Uncheck the Attribute 

This error occurs when you are in a domain, and the files came from other users.

What you can do is right click a folder or a file > properties

look for the security tab then, add everyone on the list. And make sure that you check full on the permissions.

you can get back to me if this doesn't work.

This error means you dont have suffecient priviledges to save. It sounds like you need to be logged into an Administrator account. If you are, Right click the icon for the flash drive, And click Run As Administrator

Is your systems connected to Windows server that you are trying to copy the file from?
