Write protection on Memory StickConfiguration:
Little while ago I brought Samsung USB 2.0 512MB OEM Pack. For few week I have copied data from one computer to another (with different operating system). Last time I used my Memory stick in XP...copy the stuff from memory stick to computer with 2000 and plug the memory stick into win 98... as it didn\'t have suitable USB driver it didn\'t work. So I took out the memory stick from it. Next day when try to copy some stuff on it (Win Nt) system said it write protect, I need to remove write protection. Now it is happen on every computer and every operating system. I can\'t see any physical switch...
Please help ....
Operating System : Microsoft Windows 98,NT 4.0 and 2000
CPU/Processor : AMD

check the hold key on the flash stick ....if the hold key switched on the stick will be write protected ...easy to solve ...remove the stick from the usb and switch the hold key off hold then reconnect ..that should solve it :o)

Take backup of your data in it and format it. Put the data back on it again. Now try to use it.

Re: Write protection on Memory Stick by Anonymous Ghost on December 27th, 2005 06:54:27 PM
This is about write protection on memory sticks *without switches* and which *cannot be formatted* because they are *write protected*. It seems to be a real problem and my brand new card has just developed it. Please, somebody solve it.

Hi Anonymous Ghost on December 27th, 2005 06:54:27 PM

Goto Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management. Under Disk Management, your flash drive will be showing.
Try to delete the existing partition and then put a new partition on it and format it as FAT (/FAT-16). For drives having 512mb or more use FAT32
Try looking at the flash drive again, the write protect switch will be very small and is sometimes hidden in the design ;)
