KINGSTON USB 2.0 4 GB IS WRITE PROTECT. I want to format it, but a write protect problem is generated in.

look on the side of the usb there is a little button that you push one way or the other to remove the write protect

There should be a small switch on the usb drive somewhere. You should be able to flip that switch and it takes it out of write-protection mode. I cant tell you where exactly because it is different depending on the brand. Some do not even have one, but if you are told it is write protected, then it should be a switch on it!

Hope this helps.

There is a switch on the side of the card, Flip it one way and it's locked and write protected and the other way is unlocked.

Click Start
Click Run
Type CMD
Press Enter
Type CHKDSK q: /F
where 'q:' is the drive-letter assigned by Windows to your Kingston.
Press Enter.
When "check-disk" has completed, Windows will remote the "write-protect".

try this tool HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool!!

its the u3 program. u can delete all partitions in disk management, then recreate. that removes U3 function tho
