dear,
Follow these instruction and the work will be done..
Click start
Click Run
Type "CMD"
Hit Enter - A black screen should now appear (this function can be achieved by selecting Start---->Programes---->Accessories---->Command Prompt)
Type "diskpart"
Wait untill you get "DISKPART>" then type in "select volume (blank)" fill in the blank with the letter of the drive you are trying to remove write protection from
Now type "attributes volume clear readonly"
Remember select correct letter otherwise u will loose data of other drive..
e.g; if your Flash USB drive is F then type F there..
goodluck..
hope it will fix the issue so dont forget to rate it.....
