That's extremely odd. Could you retry with a different USB? It seems 
unusual, but perhaps the USB drive just now reached the end of its 
lifespan and went into read-only mode to protect any data on the drive 
(which, ironically, we just deleted :P). If a USB drive is mounting as 
read-only and can't be remounted as read/write, that's usually a dead drive.
