There are also USB pen drives which are so small in size. You can purchase a pen drive form many outlets but you have to choose the best USB pen drive which will suit your requirements.

Generally USB Pen drive users face a similar problem. The basis of this problem is “write protection”. How will you disable the write protection of your USB pen drive? There are various solutions for this problem. So don’t panic. But if you can’t remove this write protection error even after applying these solutions then there might be some errors with the hardware parts of your USB pen drive.

If your USB pen drive is write protected you can’t write, delete or move files from or to your pen drive.

Check if there is a lock on your pen drive. Try moving the lock to different positions and check if the error has been rectified. If still it hasn’t then you have to go for another solution.

This error can also occur due to a virus attack which applies changes in the registry.

  • Press the “Windows Key + R” key combination
  • The “Run” command window will open
  • Type “regedit” and Press Ok
  • Carefully choose
    “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies”. If the registry key isn’t there then you should create the registry key.
  • Double click the “WriteProtect” Key
  • Change the value data to “0” and Press Ok
  • Exit from the registry
  • Insert your USB pen drive and check if it’s working

If the above method doesn’t work for you the most recommended choice is to download the “Apacer Formatting Utility” and use it. This will be a compressed file so unzip it. Install this on your computer. Don’t install it on your pen drive. Insert your pen drive. Double click on the “Start.bat” file from the folder you unzipped. It will format your pen drive.
