Running Fedora 32, up-to-date

Running mediawriter-4.1.7-1.fc32.x86_64 (as root) with a SanDisk Cruzer
32G USB drive, mediawriter continues without complaint until its done
(by the progress bar) and then aborts saying it can't write the drive.
"Destination drive not writable"

The USB port is operable.

Suggestions?


Is the USB media new or previously used? 

mediawriter is going to reformat the USB media, so why not try removing
existing partitions with Gnome DIsks and maybe creating new partitions
and filesystem.
