Re: Cannot write to drive "Media is write protected"


Hi, same problem here...
I performed the "diskpart" solution from bogus83, but after the
restart, grub did not get past stage 1.5 (seems to be in a loop, as no
error message).

Anyone an idea of what has gone wrong? I did run a virus-check (Norton
360) before restarting, and no problems were found.

My configuration is:

Ubuntu 8.04 on 250GB Maxtor (grub installed here)
Vista Ultimate X64 on (Software) Raid 0 (2 x WD Raptor 37GB)
Asus P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi
Intel E6600
