Default USB Write protected

SanDisk statement is WRONG.

As I said, if I do the disk check in a win 7 pc the write protect goes
away ! The USB flash drive is then fully functional... until the next time.

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.
