Use it as a personnal drive

Unless it is a read/write disc, you will not be able to reuse it. If it is read/write, you will see the letters RW on the disc. You could put it in the computer and try and format it. Make sure that you format it and not another (hard) drive or USB on your system, because you won't be able to get the information back from a formatted disc.

Good luck,

Paul

The short answer is without the password, all info on the drive will stay encrypted and locked forever. It looks like you may still format it and at least get to reuse the drive. Formatting will erase EVERYTHING on the drive permanently. Here is some more specific information

Insert your cd-rw into your computer and then:

- Go to My Computer
- Right Click on the drive (in which you have just inserted the cd)
- Click Format

Wait for it to format. Then you can reuse it again.

There is no write protected in pen drive. This is due to virus.

You need to first scan for virus the format it through command promt and reuse.

Right click computer then left click manage. In next screen click on disk management and you will see your USB stick, right click it and delete volume then try to format it there. If still not working i think its life may be over. Cheers from Scott

Copy all your data into the computer as backup and format the disk with old data, this will completely erase the old data and u can now reuse them whenever you want to from the computer or you can write them into cd through your memoex cd-rw or sony cd-rw. thanks

Do you want to use it as an external USB hard drive?
If so connect it to a USB hard drive adapter case and connect it to the MAC and either delete the folders and filed OR format the hard disk.

Just re-download it if your wii has already purchased it it is a simple re-download

Go to your control panel open up 'administrative tools' Open Computer management, then choose disc management instead of device manager. Make sure that you have the drives pluged in and connected before you do that. All connected drives formatted or not that are in working order should show up under disc management. If they are not showing up they are not compatable. Make sure that they are marked as active and format them if they need to be formatted. Do so by right clicking on the drive in the disc management window.

personnally I would not try this. If this is the only laptop you have. now if its just a machine you tinker with you can try it. but for functunality I would leave the keyboard intact incase you ever want to use the portability of the laptop.
