If you're familiar with the terminal you might want to attempt using CHMOD. sudo chmod -R 777 /Volumes/USB-Drive-name That allows full read/write access to all files/fiolders and subfolders of a given directory BUT should be used with caution as a mistype could have you accidentally applying this to your root directory. Don't do this if you're not familiar with using the Terminal please. If there is another way I'd recommend the easier to understand way.
