Write protected drive

[bajasadrveta]

I've bought a Patriot Supersonic Rage 2 [strike]memory[/strike] USB pen-drive almost 2 months ago and it was working perfectly fine until today, when i formatted the drive after copying some files the drive became write protected randomly. I've dealt with this issue many times on other USB drives, but this time everything i found online including low level format utility didn't fix the issue. And on top of it I can't really return the flash drive back to the store because I bought it over Amazon when I was in US (now I'm home in Serbia). Please help because this drive was great until this happened, and I don't want to throw it away.

If you haven't done so already, try method "6. - Into the Registry We Go" as described on this page:
