how to remove the write protection of my usb flash drive?

Register or log in to remove.

Some drives have a switch on them to lock it.

I've ran into a problem like that, and could not fix it untill i formatted it, with a USB pen drive tool.

The pen drive may be bad and need replacement.

also check the root, if it's not set to read only. (much like you can set a folder to read only).
