2.Select Transcend Pen drive-Right Click-Format-ok.
3.After formatting you can copy all files upto 4GB.
Hopethis helps. If it does, please accept and rate the solution! Contact me withany more questions you may have. Thanks for using FixYa!

you have to move the hardware lock . you can find it on the body of the flash memory it must be like this ( except that the flash you have is transcend) :

try this one, hope it will work on your memory stick coz i tried this and i was able to format my write protected memory stick

use a computer with XP OS.
right click 'my computer'
select 'manage'
then select 'disk management' to format ur memory stick. but sad to say, all data will be lost, am pretty sure you know it

Mine is Zero byte. HP USB Disk Format Utility/ Editing registry / Format from Dos are useless.

Dear,
No, problem
Just copy the whole data of pen drive to PC. Now format the pen drive
and paste the data from PC to pen drive again. It will work fine then

Thanks,
Regards,

You should try to delete the partition in the Transcend memory stick and creat a new partition. You should copy any files that you need off this memory device before you re-partition it because you will lose all the data that is stored on the device.

Go to the Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Disk Magament.
Scroll down until you see your removeable device the 16Gb memory device, click once on this, It may not show it as Healthy.
Right click in this disk (make sure you do not select the C drive) and click on Delete Partition to remove the partition.
Right click on this unpartition drive and Create a partition.
You may not have to format this partition, it should now show this as a healthy drive.
Exit out of Disk/computer Management and Control Panel.

The USB drive should now function normally.

hey, i was having the same problem with the same flash drive... there are two ways how you can fix it..
1. try formatting using cmd
Go to start-->run and then type cmd and press enter
now the command window will open
in that type format X: (x being your drive)
This should work fine if not try the second method
2. Go to this website and download the recovery tool software which is exclusively for transcend flash drives.. click the link below to so to that site..
