Great. I've somehow write-protected my USB pen and can't switch if off. Ideas?

[our_man]

The thread title says it all. I've even tried formatting it but nope, it says it can't because it's write-protected. Help!?

That'll teach me to do the 'safely remove hardware' thing instead of ripping the pen out.

Smash it and burn its remains!

(i have a similar problem with 256mb usb key)

Can you right click it in pathfinder/this comp and choose Properties ?

[Tattila the Hun]

Hum, does it have a little switch on the side?

[Winston]

Ideas?

May I suggest using it as a drink stirrer.

Tech - I see. It's a gasket problem.
Caller- Gasket? You think?
Tech - Yup. The big gasket between the chair and the keyboard.

Martinis should be shaken, not stirred.

Tsk. What do you think the "S" in USB stands for?

NO!!

Martinis should ALWAYS be stirred. Shaken ruins them ('bruises the martini')... Bond is wrong.
