Hi,
I am using Microsof Windows XP SP2. When I connect my flash 1GB
Transcand, it says write protected. So, I can not paste, delete or
format.
I have tried to format if from Disk Management and from command prompt
but it still doesnot work. I have no idea about it.
Anyone, could you please help me with this?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Susan

Hi Paul,

my flash drive has no swich and I also could not fine this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
\StorageDevicePolicies. So, the problem should be the 3rd one.

Beside of this meant that, the problem could not be solved, right?

Thanks so much for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Susan

I don't know of a tool that can examine the spare block state
of a USB flash. In a previous case, someone was having a problem
with their USB flash, and I found a "repair" tool, but all it
did, was change the identity info returned by the USB flash,
without fixing it. So I'm not optimistic you can find
exactly the right tool to attempt a repair.

Since you know the model number of your Transcend product,
you can try here for a "recovery" or "repair" tool. Just
don't expect a miracle.
