My 2nd SATA drive stopped working (after lion upgrade)

Question

It works for only reading, not writing. I can unmount it, I can't rename files, I can't delete files.

I have 2 SSDs installed in a macbook pro.

when I look at 'system information' it lists both drives, but the 1st one is listed as:

"Solid State SATA"

and the 2nd one (that isn't working) is listed as

"Flash Storage"

Any ideas on what is going on here?

Both are formatted as OSX journaled or whatever.

Any advice would be appreciated.

It works for only reading, not writing. I can unmount it, I can't rename files, I can't delete files.

Right click on it in Finder, go to "Get Info". In the "Sharing and Permissions" at the bottom, click the little lock, type in your password and allow yourself to read and write. Also try checking "Ignore ownership on this volume".

If that doesn't work, try formatting it with Disk Utility again.
