cp: cannot create regular file: Read-only file system

Question

I have an bootable flash-card (with acronis (not my installation)), I may read but cannot copy file into it. When I uses windows, then I not have any problem, but I cannot use this card in ubuntu - have error Read-only file system

~ $sudo cp -f vbinst.sh /media/valeriy/TERMINAL/
[sudo] password for valeriy: 
cp: cannot create regular file '/media/valeriy/TERMINAL/vbinst.sh': Read-only file system

How to resolve this task but not crack flash-card?

Solution

The partition on the card is mounted read-only ro:

/dev/sdc1 on /media/valeriy/TERMINAL type vfat (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

You can unmount it and mount it again, this time with read-write rw permissions. The following link answering another AskUbuntu question may help with details.

Can you edit your question and post the output of sudo fdisk -l and mount with the card inserted?

It's mounted read-only. The reason might be a corrupted filesystem. askubuntu.com/questions/147228/… might be useful. Unmount the partition to run the file-system check.
