How do I disable write protection on Kingston Data Traveler SE9. I could not locate the switch

You have to be the computers administrator to change any values on any hard drive on your computer

click start control panel user accounts on the users tab click the name of the computer administrator you must have full control

click start click to open on my computer you should see your usb drive could be E: or something right click select properties there will be an array of options

select the sharing tab option then advanced sharing make sure you have a tick in the share this folder box

then click permissions make sure you have all 3 boxes ticked full control changes and read in windows 7

click start control panel user accounts click on the administrators account if you have made one or you will have to create one in windows XP

click start right click on my computer select open
Right click the icon of your usb drive (It should be E:/ or something)
Click Properties in the menu that comes up
Click the Sharing tab
Click permissions
And finally, click Allow next to Full Control.

hop this helps

I had the same problem. But as it turns out, my guess is that you possibly tried to copy a file bigger than 4g to a fat32 filesystem. It took me a couple of hours to figure out that I had to format it to NTFS. Hope this helps someone :-)
