The Pig I know you want to be me Premium join:2009-09-11	[Need Info] usb flash drive unlock write protection software Is there any programs out there to stop a usb flashdrive giving errors that it is "write protected" Yes, I have plenty of room on the drive, putting under 1 gb on a 4 gb drive! Or do you think the drive is dead! I tried some fixes on-line but no luck! I don't mind buying another drive I just hate to throw one out if I don't have to! Thanks!!!

If you don't mind removing the data on the flashdrive, why not do a reformat of it, then try it again. -- GuruGuy

I tried that a few times, sometimes it formats and sometimes it don't (sounds like an almond joy commerical) ! And either way it stops half way through the transfer!

chachazz Premium join:2003-12-14 kudos:7	reply to The Pig Look in the registry - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies. The value 'WriteProtect' should be absent or set to '0'. Or maybe it is toast -- Gladiator Security Forum: www.gladiator-antivirus.com/

The Pig I know you want to be me Premium join:2009-09-11	I tried that also! No StorageDevicePolicies listed under Control! I just notice that my 4 gb drive shows up as 1.6 gb no matter what I do, I put a few songs on it, but don't understand where the write protected came from and how did the drive lose 2.4gb!
