If you are running a Windows XP OS then you might be able to:
- click start right click on my computer select open
- Right click the icon of your Flash Drive (It should be F:/ or something)
- Click Properties in the menu that comes up

If i want to safe or delete a file from my usb it says it is writ

If you know the make of it, search the net for a software upgrade. That may work. I had the same issue with a Philips 4Gb stick and an upgrade fixed the problem for a few months. Then it appeared again. Since it was still under warranty, I returned it and got a refund. Good luck!

Transcend JetFlash V60 16GB pen drive is write protected

Flash drives by default use the FAT32 file system. FAT32 has a limit of 4gb per file. So you could have four 4gb files on your pen drive, but no files bigger than about 4gb. You could use the NTFS format, but it's not suggested for flash drives since it reads/writes much more often than FAT and will make the drive lifetime MUCH shorter.
