Error mounting: mount: block device /dev/sde2 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
dmesg |tail output:

Otherwise I usually get read-only errors etc.
Any way of formatting/erasing this?
I'm trying to make a bootable disk for Mac OSX, but somewhere along the way something is corrupted. I've tried programs and admin settings in Mac OSX (terminal and disk util) and similar things and programs in windows (partition manager, hp usb etc.). I've also tried the standard f-disk and such.
I cant seem to open the graphical user interface for gparted either, even though it is installed. Any way of just wiping the whole disk clean?
Any -su options or otherwise would be great. Thanks!
EDIT: after 3 days and countless efforts i found the simple solution. i simply used:
sudo nautilus exited the nautilus opened disk utility and i have no problems wiping the USB.
However, windows still recalls this is a RAW, mac osx can't boot since file system almost got to fat32(but corrupted) error in diskutility: error: creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdd: Read-only file system
tried sudo chmod in all variations, still no access...i feel like im soo close...
