Ok.  We have been through this before with a different person.

Interesting as this should allow the device to be written to.  Does
your user have rights to the files/directories from Linux?

Can you read/write to it from Linux?  If you can, it may be that the
drive's attributes have been corrupted.  That is outside of the scope
of the Wine project to fix.
