    write protected flash drive

     
    I have a 2Gb flash drive. Wrote a number of files to it, then one day it simply started giving a message saying it is write protected and can't save a file to it. There is no switch on it to unprotect. How can I unprotect it? I saw a fix on another site that said to use regedit. However, the H_KEY ....\ \ storage devices does not exist on my machine.
    Any thoughts will be helpful.
    Thanks

    Can you copy files off of it?

    Does it do the same thing when plugged into another pc?
    Imagine a world where dogs took bad owners to the pound...

    I can copy files from it, just not to it.

    For the previous writer, I amusing XP Pro.
    Thanks again.
