pen drive converted to read only

[abhishek_734]

i have a 1 gb moserbaer pendrive.for last few days,when i try to write data into it ,it says the disk is write protected and i m unable to write data to it.i can read the data or copy it which is already present on it.also it shows a free space of abt 800 mb.the pd dosnt have any switch on it.i m unable to format it.

try formating from command prompt.
if that doesnt work try some flash disk formatting tools.

ya,the pendrive came with its own locking tool software installed on it on one partition of it.i never used it to lock it.now when i m trying to perform any lock operations it is saying the same that is it is write protected.and the action cant b performed.

Set the pen drive in "Optimize for Quick Removal" usage from Properties>Hardware>**select your pen drive from list**>Properties>Policies.See if it works.!
