Re: cannot write to usb drive



maybe not utf-8 but nls=utf8,
then try -o rw,force,nls=uft8,
then hope that initial sectors of the drive (when it is flash too?) aren't damaged... if you could, try mounting the drive from winzoz, maybe it was unmounted from there without "safe removing" or such like that, once, long time ago, this happened to me.
However, that's message used to identify damaged sectors in vital parts of the hard disk and requires hard working with dd, dd_rescue, ddrescue or testdisk/photorec...

This flash drive was okay a few days ago but now it has become like
this and I already lost its packaging and the only thing I could tell
that it's brand is Apacer
