USB Write protected
In article ,
says...
I have a Win XP pro PC and a Win 7 Pro PC.
Sometimes when using my SanDisk Ultra USB3 128G flash drive it says it
is write protected.
I do not do this !
Why and how does this happen ?
I cannot figure out how to un-writeprotect it in the Win XP pro PC.
THERE IS NOT MECHANICAL SWITCH on the flash!
But if I put it in the Win 7 Pro PC and do a quick TOOLS/ERROR-CHECKING
check it will take the write protect off and I can then again use it in
Win XP Pro.
How do I do this in Win XP Pro without have to lug my Win 7 Pro desktop
around with me when I travel ?
I have other flash drives and this never happens on them.
You're lucky. I bought a couple of 64Gb Furacell branded flashdrives.
Two have unexpectedly gone into write-protect mode with some data loss
and nothing I tried could bring them back. I threw them in the wood
stove
I still have a couple (they were really cheap at the time)
working but I don't trust them for anything important.
