How do i remove wright protection from a USB Key?

There is no switch on the key. I just got it and started moving files to it. After a while I got a pop up saying it was wright protected.

now it wont let me get any of the files I already added to it off and it wont let me add new ones or format it. Now it wont work on either of my computers.

What can I do to unlock it? I've tried changing the drive letter and all that any more ideas?

Re: How do i remove wright protection from a USB Key?

Have you maxed out the capacity? You can check this registry key, but this sounds more like a corruption issue on the file system. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...to-usb-drives/
