Hi, I have a problem with a 16gb usb flash drive. The problem arose after trying to install a version of ubuntu (version Qbuntu, ubuntu 10.04 modified by University of Barcelona faculty of chemistry), but the installation failed. then i tried to format the usb in ubuntu and this failed with message "Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync (2) on / dev/sdc1: Input / output error". then i tried to format it in windows and failed again with the classic error "disk is write protected" and then i tried many solutions (regedit-writeprotect /, usbwp /, ..) but none worked. the usb has lever , and as I am a newbie with ubuntu, i dont know what to do. if anyone have any solution please reply. Thank you.
