How do I get rid of the write protection on a jump drive? :thinking: I used to know... but I'm drawing a blank

 

what kind do u have?
is there a switch on the outside of the drive itself?

 

Compusa 16mb... nothing fancy... just an switch that allows you to remove the drive..

 

is the file not being abled to be copied? or is the drive just not accepting any files at all?

 

just a guess but it could be a file that is just write protected, i know windows gets pissy with files from other computers sometimes and you have to go into the file's properties to take the lock off

also you might wanna just look at the properties of the drive itself and see if it's write protected

hope that helps

 

I want to dump files... no go.. I want to add files.. no go

It was working fine last week when I used it. :thinking:

PITA

 

Did that.. I'll look again.. see if I notice anything. *sigh* Wish me luck.
