I have few files on a 128 MB my Flash memory stick. It won't allow me to ad
or remove files from it.

It says: Drive can't be written on. Please, remove write protection.

According to problem solver there is nothing wrong with the memory stick, or
HUBs. Memory stick's on utility program won't allow me to format it. Could it
be so that it is jus broken (it's only 4 weeks old)?

How do I remove write protection from the USB memory stick?
 
From windows explorer, right click-> properties->take the tick out of
read-only box-- ? Just a suggestion...
 
What brand are you using? The one's I use have a small slide
switch on the side that provides write protection. It show's a
closed and open lock on each side.
 
I have tried this, having experienced the problem this week, is it do with
going onto XP this week, I have tried moving between locked and unlocked to
no avail#
Is it faulty?
