| 659464 | 2008-04-16 06:25:00 | My USB stick suddently didn't allow me to write to or delete anything from it. It gives the message "Remove the write-protection or use another disk". There is a lock-unlock switch on the drive which I already made sure that it's unlocked. I tried to reformat but the same message poped up. Please help!!! |

| 659465 | 2008-04-16 06:34:00 | Did it have any instructions for passwords? I have a Swiss-bit USB drive which has this: www.imagef1.net.nz | Scouse (83) | ||
| 659466 | 2008-04-16 06:38:00 | No, it doesn't come with any instruction for password. I never set password or anything like that... | lannguyen (13637) | ||
| 659467 | 2008-04-17 22:41:00 | ok, try this: - Start > Run > type regedit the hit Enter - Single-click on My Computer the click File > Export > save it to the Desktop (For a backup!!) - Go to the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\StorageDe vicePolicies - 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***’ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\St orageDevice Policies - Save these to the same place as before as ‘StorageDevicePolicies00*’ The saves are in case it reverts at a later date, just double click (saying ‘yes’ to importing these to the registry) on all of the files and it should all work again! |
