The Easy fix The fix worked great! Thanks Fatbird:grinthumb QUOTE=fatbird;198590] OK – after an hour or so of faffing around:knock:, I think that I have found a possible solution. The problem seems to be something to do with Microsoft’s SP2:dead:! Here’s what worked for me (sorry for the *****’s Guide approach, but I used to:hotbounce hate it:hotbounce when I used forums and couldn’t understand what the technobabble meant!): - Start > Run > type ‘regedit’ (without the speachmarks) > Enter - Single-click on ‘My Computer’ > File > Export > save it to the Desktop (Always best to have a backup!!) - Go to the following: My Computer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control StorageDevicePolicies. *There seems to be some spaces here in 'StorageDevicePolicies' in the text above, there shouldn't be, OK* - Double click on the string ‘WriteProtect’ and change the ‘Value Data’ box to ‘0’ - Then: File > Export > save somewhere useful as something like ‘StorageDevicePolicies001.reg’ - You also need to do this for the strings in any folders called ‘ControlSet***’ (* = any Digit, i.e. 001, 002) – for example: Everything is the same, just change ‘CurrentControlSet’ to ‘ControlSet***’ My Computer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM ControlSet001 Control StorageDevicePolicies.

Write protection fix on usb Hi I thought I would let you know how I got rid of that sneaky write protection on my 16gb unkown brand usb pen drive. First go to device manager find drive and uninstall.
Pull out usb drive and put back in to computer it will start to install the software for the usb pen drive once that is complete. Go to my computer go to usb drive right click and select format, when the format is open at the part which says volume, insert your pen drive letter, then select format and it will start formatting. Hey presto all done. USB Drive Write Protected I had the same problem with my 16gig USB Flash Drive.
I opened it up and looked at the board and assembly carefully and found that three of the pins on the memory model lost contact with the board. You will need some micro-soldering equipment and micro solder it back on carefully.
My worked fine after that. I guess what happened is over time, the memory module over-heats and one or more pins become loose from the board.
The problem with this is your USB flash drive will still appear to be working and is detectable by your OS, but you just can't write or delete anything off of it. If this is the case, software modifications or configuration will not work. The only way is to get those pins to contact the board. Sometimes you have to look carefully. You might even have to get a strong magnifying glass to help you.

Look for discolorations on the contacts. A lighter color usually is a sign that the pin has lost contact. Hope this helps.
