Thanks I think I did that but will try and repeat it now to be certain, thanks again for the reply.
Cheers just tried again but got the message "this disk is write protected" so nope no joy still thank you though
Eject and pull out the USB and check to see if it has a write protection switch.
Right click drive, properties > general > uncheck read only.
Go to regedit, navigate to the registry folder "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies."and check to see if there is an entry at the right side of the window labeled "Write Protect". If the entry is not there, right-click inside the window and choose "New D Word." Type "Write Protect" and press "Enter." Then double-click the "Write Protect" entry. Check that the value listed in the text box is "0." If it is not, delete the value and replace it with "0.".
Try those and see if any of them resolved your issue.
