How to remove write protect on my usb flash drive

I'm trying to spread the news on how I fixed mine just this morning with the same problem. I can't believe how many people have the same problem.

I have heard to format--didn't work for me. I have heard to switch the write-protection button on the side--mine doesn't have one.
I heard to make sure your mp3 is not in 'pause' or 'hold' mode--THAT WORKED FOR ME! It was so simple. I had been messing with the buttons so much I must have put it in pause. Please try it. Good luck.

OK, i had the same problem with my Micro SD when i tried to put in file in it it said write protectec and blahblah i took out the micro sd and i see Lock and i just turned that off and it worked :))

Righ click ___ Properties___Read only _UNCHECK the box

These are very primary solutions....pls suggest me something new. I have two flash drive with same problem...

I have a problem in my USB. when i past somthing in it there was an error of writeprotect. so what should i have to do for copy in it?

Yes people please help my zen stone plus doesn't want to transfer any more and i dont think i have a hold button. If you know a simple way of removing the write-protection without installing anything or whatever that would be great.

To whom it may concern,

I have a 2 GB PNY attaché Optima Pro flash drive. When I try to save anything on the flash drive it tells me that it is right protected. I hate to destroy it and throw it away, because it's a good flash drive. I'm trying to get an answer from somebody on how to fix it. If you give me an answer. I really would appreciate it very much.

These are the primary ways that I tried.......would you pls suggest me something new... I have two USB flash drive with same problem

Right click from my computer and select - Open As Portable Device.
for some reason that let me access it. any other way its like bricked.

Right this had me vexed all of two seconds ago! i took it off hold and tried to format it, i even pressed play- 'this device is write protected'! then i growled at my computer some more before yanking the silly thing out and actually playing the music i had on it, so i put it in and the stupid thing works!! OMG what a pain!

I think a solution to all this is that if we all work as a team to solve this, it can be easy for all of us because everyone can come with an idea and we can see what we can do to that issue and it can be easy for eveyone to decide if it is a good idea or should we all try something else because if you just sit back and do nothing, none of your problems will be solved because you are not asking for any help from any one, so guys if you think that this story is useless just email me to tell me that is it good or not
