What you need to do is connect your usb drive, then open a command prompt window (Programs->accesories) and in this window type:

diskpart.exe
and press enter

you will be presented with another window similar to the first. In this new window type:

list volume
and press enter

this will show you a list of all drives connected to your machine.

Next type:
select volume *


where * is the volume number of the required drive listed in the list volume section.
and press enter
This will select the drive for the change you are about to make.

type:
detail volume
and press enter

this will list all of the attributes to do with the selected drive, you should see in there that the disk is write protected.

next type:
ATTRIBUTES DISK CLEAR READONLY
and press enter. Once the window has finished what it's doing you can close all of the command prompt windows and your disk should be ready to use again.

Hope this wasn't too long winded and has been of some use to you.

While copying data,my device is showing 'device copyright protected'

> device COPYRIGHT protected

It's probably showing COPY protected.

If the device has a slider or a rocker switch that can be shifted from "write-protect" to "write-enable", use that switch.

Hii sir pls help me mine kingstone data traveler 2gb is write protected so how shall i remove write protected?

Copy all the files onto your 'C:' drive.
Spend $9 to buy a new 2GB USB memory-stick.
Copy the files to the new memory-stick.
Take a sledge-hammer to the old memory-stick -- to prevent anybody else from reading your files.

My Kingston 8 GB drive shows data into other format. If there is 2 GB of data, sometimes it shows there is 3 GB or more. The data inside my drive shows unknown symbols or something like that. Please help...

If there are such unknown folders and files in your pen drive and you did not place them there, then you have reasons to be cautious. Try to run a virus scan, these night be trojans or worms, etc. or copy/backup the important files in your pen drive then, format your pendrive.
