Try unplugging the drive and plugging it back in. That usually works because the USB drive gets automatically remounted with you as owner and not root. I don’t know if sudo is password protected in Ubuntu, but you can try opening a terminal and typing:
sudo nautilus
and that will open the file browser with root privileges if there is no password for root. If it needs a password, try “root” or just press enter. If you have trouble with this, you can also try Knoppix Linux (although I guess it would be hard for you to download in the situation you’re in). Email me if you still have problems and I’ll try to get back to you. Good luck!

It’s my problem for first time.
Try this, it’s works for me using KNOPPIX and KDE.
1. umount your usb
2. right click at icon and find “Properties”
3. find tab, that exist checkbox “ReadOnly”, uncheck it
i forget which tab, but u can search it.
4. find another tab, give permission read,write, and execute to guest, owner and whatever.
5. now try mount back your usb.
hope it works

you can try uninstalling your drive and reinstalling it
go into device manager
right click on my computer
click on manage
click on device manager
expand your cd roms
right click on your burner
click on uninstall
then at the top of the chain in device manager you should see your computer name
right click on that
then click on scan for hardware changes
it should find and reinstall your burner
have you tried to reboot
have you tried to reinstall the driver
