Guys n Gals,

I have this weird Flash - 

I have successfully scanned thru the files and kept what i still need.
So i wanted to trash everything and possibly format!

1. chmod to 777 wont work

2. chown to myself and my group wont work

3. rm -rf wont work  
...all saying 'Read Only Filesystem'

4. When i try the graphical Disk Utility, 

4.a Format Drive wont work - 
 results: Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code
1: cannot open /dev/sdc: Read-only file system

4.b Format Volume wont work - 
results: Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1:
cannot open /dev/sdc1: Read-only file system

4.c Delete Partition neither - 
results - Error erasing: helper exited with exit code 1: In
