USB device comes up as write-protected after NTFS formatting

[dweelea]

I was attempting to copy a large number of small files from one USB stick to another. An error came up saying that the FAT file system would support only a limited number of files, and I would have to format it for NTFS to support more files. So I formatted it for NTFS...and now when I try to copy the files, it says the device is write-protected. Any ideas?
