Says write protect on usb and wont allow formating
Look for a switch or button on the side of your MP3 player. It might have a lock/unlock symbol on it, or read "HOLD." This switch effectively disables the player so it doesn't turn on in your pocket when you don't want it to. Move the switch to the "Unlocked" or "NO HOLD" position to remove write protection. This position may also be labeled "R/W" for "read/write." If you have no switch, continue to next Step. Check with your manufacturer documentation and support. Some players have options to securely lock them so data is not transferred or overwritten without permission. Format the MP3 player. This step should only be taken as a last resort because it will delete all files form your MP3 player. To format, select "Control Panel," "Administrative Tools" and "Disk Management." Select the MP3 player and click "Delete." Right-click on empty drive and select "New Partition." Follow the on-screen instructions to format. hope this helps

Umm... Vague, but I'll work with it. Connect it to a PC. under "My Computer", find your device, and right click it. You should see "Format Device", or "format".This will remove any and all media from the device, as well as clear your settings.
SOURCE: Remove Write Protection
Remove Jet Flash Write Protection Insert the mini CD that came with the USB Flash disk. Start JF Utility.exe in the JF Utility directory. If it complains that the disk is write protected, choose "Continue" Choose "Partition" Answer "Yes" to losing all your data (Since this becomes a problem usually after formating the disk in WinXP or Win9x, you will most probably not have any data on there in any case) Choose "Public Area Only (Single Partition)", Then "OK", Then "OK" again. Unplug the device, reinsert device, and voila!- no more dark secret areas or write protection on your disk!
