    Can't write to SD Card!

    I plug in an SD Card, and I can't make folders, paste files, or do anything. It's 2GB formatted to FAT, and it always works on Windows, but when I plug it in, I can't write to it on Ubuntu.
    I'm using Ubuntu 14.04. Help would be appreciated.

    Does it show up in the file manager (Nautius)?
    If so, is it mounted? It should show a little black triangle next to it's name. You could right click it and select "mount".

    you did not tell us which card reader it is, so we cant focus on a closer answer
    first check that the system detect the plugged card: sudo blkid

    Yes, it's mounted. I can see everything but I can't make files or folders.

    I ran sudo blkid:
    saturn@saturn:~$ sudo blkid
    /dev/sda1: UUID="a5030753-50d9-4c90-b594-553e12930d72" TYPE="ext4"
    /dev/sda5: UUID="c3bda119-764d-4640-b044-c697c3732025" TYPE="swap"
    /dev/mmcblk0p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="NSMBW" UUID="D316-C905" TYPE="vfat"
    saturn@saturn:~$

    NSMBW is my SD Card.
