I am having problem with my memory device (actually a memory card that act external memory device like pendrive).
experimentx@workmateX:/var/www/zendtest$ sudo rm /media/A88F-8788/python-2.7.1-docs-html.zip
rm: cannot remove `/media/A88F-8788/python-2.7.1-docs-html.zip': Read-only file system
I tried to change the file permission of the system but that doesn't work
experimentx@workmateX:/var/www/zendtest$ sudo chmod 0777 /media/A88F-8788/python-2.7.1-docs-html.zip
chmod: changing permissions of `/media/A88F-8788/python-2.7.1-docs-html.zip': Read-only file system
But it perfectly works on windows.
UPDATE
On opening the drive and running command sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/A88F-8788
