I've a dualboot mode for Ubuntu and Windows. Earlier, everything was working perfectly fine. But, I'm unable to copy any files to pendrive.

I know this question has been asked several times, but my issue is different. The file copies to pendrive, but once I unplug and re-plug my pd, the file is no longer there. Please help me resolve this issue.

    Does it happen also in Windows or only Ubuntu? –  May 04 '19 at 18:47

    This looks like a hardware problem, that the pendrive is damaged beyond repair. But it is possible, that there is 'only' confusion and you can find a solution. You can analyze the problems according to this link – sudodus May 04 '19 at 19:02
  • @GabrielaGarcia only Ubuntu. It works perfectly on Windows – Ankit Kumar May 05 '19 at 08:10
  • @sudodus My pendrive isn't damaged. Its working fine in my friend's pc as well as on windows in mine... – Ankit Kumar May 05 '19 at 08:11

    Sorry, I misunderstood the symptoms; 1. After copying, run the command sync from a terminal window. When it returns to prompt, the write process has finished, the data should reside on the pendrive, if it is healthy. It is important to unmount (or eject) the partition on the drive before it is unplugged (unmount includes syncing); 2. There might also be a problem with mounting, that the partition on the drive is read-only (but the file should not 'copy' in that case. See this link. – sudodus May 05 '19 at 11:18
  • @sudodus Thank you soo much!!! I always "safely remove" the pendrive, but the sync command was actually helpful. Whatever the process, I finally got the results! Thanks again – Ankit Kumar May 05 '19 at 14:42
