    Hello...
    I have a flash drive that is write protected. When I try to move or copy a file from my HDD to the flash drive I get a message that says "The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection or use another disk." How do I go about removing the write-protection? Any help is appreciated.

    It does have a switch , but the problem is that the switch is broken and stuck in the "lock" psoition. I do not know who the maufacturer is as I got the drive from work. It has my company name on it but no manufacturer.
