USB PenDrive turned write protected

[aaruni]

Hey guys,
I have a Transcend USB Pendrive (4GB) which has suddenly turned "write-protected". I need some help over here.

Try formatting from elevated command prompt.

did you use your pendrive on others computers such as office or friends to transfer files recently?if yes,it may be a virus..
try command prompt to format:
open cmd
(if the pendrive is g)
type: format g:
then enter.
this may help.

I cant format. It says input/output error.
