flashdisk :)

How to open Flash Disk Write Protected Affected:

This problem arises because the flash disk immediately revoked without "savely removed hardware". To overcome this there are several ways, which can be managed for each case (not for every case). Nothing hurts to try:

Tips 1.

• Start > Run > type ‘regedit’ then hit 'OK'.
• Browse to the following key:
• My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlS et\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
• Double click on the string ‘WriteProtect’ and change the ‘Value Data’ box to ‘0’
• You may also need to do this for the strings in any folders called ‘ControlSet***’ e.g.
• My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\C ontrol\StorageDevicePolicies

Tips 2.
I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2, so this description applies only in that environment.
Centon's tech support suggested doing the following...
Start->Settings->Control Panel
Administrative Tools
Computer Management
Under Storage in the left panel, click on Disk Management, wait a minute for Windows to do whatever it is doing,......
Locate the data stick/thumb drive/whatever-you-want-to-call it, in the right top windowand click on it.
Right click
in the popup, click on "Delete Partition" -- make darn sure you are doing this to the RIGHT drive!!!!!
Right click again, and choose "Create Partition" (or was it format, I forget maybe it was both).
