Default USB Write protected

Sometimes when using my SanDisk Ultra USB3 128G flash drive it says it
is write protected.
I do not do this !

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.


SanDisk says that if an error occurs, it throws the write protected alert.

They also have some advice for checking the USB for failure causes.
They also give instructions for how to RMA in the case of failures under
warranty, which that Ultra likely is.

SanDisk also recommends reformatting problem USBs.
