Formatting the Drive (OS X)
Format the drive if you still can't get it to
work. If the drive is in NTFS format, you
won't be able to write to it. Formatting it will
allow you to use it, but will erase all of the
data on the drive.
Select your USB drive in Disk Utility. Open
the Disk Utility app from your Utilities folder.
Your USB drive will be listed in the left
frame.
Select the proper format for the rive. There
are several options you can pick from,
depending on what you'll be doing with the
drive:
Select "OS X Extended (Journaled)" if
you're only going to be using the drive on
Mac computers.
Select "FAT" if you plan on using the drive
on other operating systems and devices.
Select "exFAT" if the drive is larger than
32 GB and you want to use it in Windows
as well.
Click the "Erase" button. OS X will begin
formatting the drive, which may take a while
to complete. All of the data on the drive will
be deleted.
Try the drive again. If you still can't write to
the drive, it may be malfunctioning and will
need to be replaced.
