Mount - Problem Remounting /dev/sdb1

How can I properly remount /dev/sdb1? Because when I remount it:

sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1
mount: cannot remount /dev/sdb1 read-write, is write-protected

...displaying that it is write protected. Before this happened, it is read and writable, but when I connected it to my laptop, it just got this, read-only file system. I retry to mount and change its file system/permissions. But it doesn't change.. Need help please...

Execute following commands in terminal.

id user_name

replace user_name with your user name to get your uid then execute this command

sudo mount -o rw,uid=your_uid_here /dev/sdb1 /mnt

replace your_uid with uid of your user found above.

Try umount and then mount as easy like it sounds

umount /point_of_mount

mount -o rw /dev/sdb1 /point_of_mount

Thats worked for me
