How to remove write protection of my pendrive ? I cannot copy any files into it nor i can delete files from it.

hi Not only your pendirve your computer system is also affected by virus . please check your pendrive with any other computer .before you connected open your pendrive format your pendrive with any other computer. if it will not work you have go for any new pendirve. bye

removing write protection in pen drives is impossible..because tht is due to some hardware problemsi and no software can remove writ protection..anyway try this..logon to a linux machine(i prefer ubuntu )
and in terminal route to your drive and type sudo chmod-R 777/media/ and press enter..if one failes to delete files again..then throw away the pendrive.he heh..!!

please look for a button or a slide switch in both sides of your drive...try switching it to other side and delete files again..

hope this helps. please rate.

if you need further help, please post back.

If your drive is partitioned with FAT32 then it cannot copy larger files. You have to format it using NTFS.

I had the same problem with an old 64MB jump drive. I did some hunting around on HWA as well as Googling other forums. The general agreement seemed to be that the drive was simply dead. I tried changing all the permissions, attrib in CMD, and even logging into Linux as "root" (the equivilent of Microsoft's "Administrator") to no avail. I was able to back the files up to another drive, and they regained their permission settings, but from what I read, the drive was simply dead.

LITTLE SLIDE SWITCH ON THE SIDE

Look for a small/tiny white switch on either the bottom or side of your pendrive and switch to the other side. there should be a tiny white switch on your pendrive...

Hope this help. dnt 4get to rate pls

hi,
could you mention the brand of the pen drive.
anyway for deleting the files . try this--> right click the file and click properties. now check you "read only" (ie. dis-select it ) and select file or folder is ready for archive.
now try to delete it.
hope it helps. and after knowing your brand and model of your pen drive more information can be given.
