The drive has been set as read-only manually. Supposed that read-only hard drive is not related to virus intefction or write protection switch, you can take the following four fixes to disable read only for the disk.

Many storage devices such as USB hard drives, pen drive, floppy disk, SD card, and external hard disks are preformatted with a certain file system, which may not be compatible with a Windows computer or a Mac, so you can only read it other than writing new data on it.

I tried to do another restore a day or so ago and the date I had tried previously to restore to was no longer a choice I had planned on that date due to it being before I began to have trouble saving.
