| Re: Write protection problem on usb
This may caused by virus or malware script which modified the registry to make any drive write protect when connected to the computer, You can remove write protection from your usb flash drive or memory card using the below method: 1. Open Start Menu >> Run, type regedit and press Enter, this will open the registry editor. 2. Navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies |

Try This Go to my computer and open it, and you should see the Flash Drive. Right click on it, and from the drop down menu select format.. (It will be FAT 32) As I am not familiar with your exact make of drive, check that IF it has a tiny slide protect switch on the side. If it has, try formatting it, if it won't, push the switch forward or back and it should then format. As you do not give details of your computer, I cannot give further instruction for a your operating system. If it's XP the drive should be recognized automatically, but if its Win98, it will need you to install the driver you got with it on the CD supplied. Hope this helps

Note: If the registry key StorageDevicePolicies does not exist, you will need to create it manually. 3. Double click the key WriteProtect in the right window and set the value to 0 in the Value Data Box and press OK button 4. Restart your computer and try copying files into your USB drives. |
