Hi all,
My problem is shown in the subject. I just wanted to try whether our not too young, not too smart TV can play mkv files. So I copied two videos on a 8G FAT 32 USB stick. The TV could play both files, with sound. I waned to add some more files from my laptop, but the drive is not writeable any more. Not as superuser. I see the content and can play the two video files on the laptop. I noticed that a new directory, called DVR was created. What can I do besides reformatting?
Thanks, Albert
Maybe that is the problem: (after ls -l)
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? System Volume Information
I can only add one more question marks
Some kind of corruption. Drive needs repair, meanwhile Linux mounts read only, perhaps.
fsck while not mounted.
The USB is formatted in FAT32 so fsck won't repair it. Will need to use chkdsk in Windows.

Thanks, checking and repairing the drive in a Win7 virtualbox made the USB stick writeable again. Possibly I should learn how to unmount it from the TV.

Just learnt that it IS possible to use fsck to repair a FAT file system -- see here: https://linux.die.net/man/8/fsck.vfat and am glad that you were able to get the USB stick writeable again.
