[RESOLVED] 32 GB USB

Hello all, just purchased a 32GB usb to store music, data on, when I come to use it, it asks to Format it, i choose quick format, then click ok.
Comes up with "Disk write Protected."
Can this be sorted, if so how??

Thanks, Gep:eek:

Look on it for a little slider and move it to the opposite end. For example:

The make/model of the flash drive might help. Most flash drives come pre-formatted with FAT32, so it's odd that you had to format it again.

Hello Midknyte and all, no slider etc at all, no model name etc, just says 32GB.
I am using windows vista.

works on usb 1 as well.

Thanks for your reply, Gep

If it's defective, return it.

Hello Spywaredr, have packaged it up ready for return on Tuesday.
Tried it in my windows 7, same result.

Thanks, Gep

Excellent. Don't let them eBayer's (or anyone else) get away with shipping defective products.
