351660 2005-05-03 04:40:00 I brought an a-data usb flash drive a short time ago and it has recently started saying it is write protected when I try to save to it. Does anyone know how i can fix this??? miny_jimmi (8027)
351661 2005-05-03 04:48:00 There's probably a tiny slide switch on the side which you have moved to the "protect" position. Easily done just by handling the thing. ;)

Hands up anyone who hasn't done that. :blush:

351664 2005-05-03 09:47:00 Did your USB disk come with a manual or CD ? You might need to reformat it Overdrive_5000 (4950)
