MY 8GB SANDISK CRUZER BLADE PENDRIVE NOW SHOWS WRITE PROTECTED...PLEASE HELP IF U CAN........

Try this. If you can't figure it out, either use a different USB drive, or consult an IT guy. Much of the glitchy stuff in computers these days is just too complex unless you have some training, or self education .

More than likely this is a fake pendrive.
Check the serial number with sandisk..

usb in write protection problam

Since it works with other systems there is a system incompatibility issue. Are you using the same OS in this machine as in the others where it works? Could it be that?

Using XP? It has some issues with some usb devices.

Well I had this problem twice
1: put flashdrive in washing machine
OR
2:go to installed hardwAre panel (something like that) and uninstall the hardware then reinstall ( by reattaching drive)

Honestly I don't recommend option 1 ... But that works too

just format your laptop my dear and then use it.......
your laptop may be afffected by virus....

Have you tried a next pc to see if it will read the flashdrive?

Hi,

Go to Disk Utilities and reformat the pen drive. That might do the trick.

All the best!

you just answered your own question.
