You will have to download the v-safe software again for your flashdrive from manufacturer website. Then you can change the size of the secure area or remove it completely. http://www.verbatim.com/support/support.cfm?open=Manuals
You should be able to find the software here in the downloads section.

Everyone above is wrong. I too had this problem. You run the V-safe software to access the "private zone". the software is downloadable from the support website. There are several versions and you have to go through and find the correct version by trial and error. If none of them work then you have a mini paperweight. I work on computers for a living and I have tried every professional tool out there and none of them will work. No the protected partition can not eve be recognized by a Linux boot disk.If you are willing to pay the shipping Verbatim will replace it.

Do you have verbatim's "V-Key" driver for this flash drive?

If so, there's an option in that driver for "write-protect enable" and a checkbox for that option.

If not, and it's operating as a standard USB mass storage device, then you can try this registry change:

- Start > Run > type ‘regedit’ then hit 'OK'.

- Browse to the following key:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

- Double click on the string ‘WriteProtect’ and change the ‘Value Data’ box to ‘0’

- You may also need to do this for the strings in any folders called ‘ControlSet***’ e.g.

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

etc.

is the privtae zone the only side that you cant open on your store-n-go

First try formating the flash drive. If it gives you errors or still only has that small amount, run the following program, this will be the best flash drive formatter I have found.: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

sounds like its fried try to connect it to a different computer.

I hope your Jump Drive did not get formatted - because all your files would be lost.

You could try this:
Go to "My Computer" and right click on the drive letter for the Verbatim Jump Drive.
Select "Properties"
Click on the "tools" tab and select "check now".
This will check your Jump Drive for problems.

The file system is likely the culprit for this. If you've formatted the USB stick with FAT32, the largest SINGLE file will be about 4GB. You can place as many smaller files as you want to fill the stick completely (in excess of 4GB), but once you approach 4GB for a single file - it will crash.

Format with NTFS instead. No 4GB limit is placed on files in this file system. A nice chart listing the differences between file systems can be found here. The forth row "Max File Size" shows the data you're asking about. NTFS supports 16TB (terrabytes are 1000 times larger than gigabytes) while FAT32 is limited to a "paltry" 4GB. Both FAT32 and NTFS are supported by Windows XP and newer OSes.

I hope this helps - please rate my reply - thanks!

When it can be read, copy all the files onto your 'C:' drive.

Then, take a sledge-hammer to the Verbatim, to make sure that NOBODY will ever be able to read any files from it. Then, responsibly recycle it.

Spend $10 to buy a new 2GB device.

I suggest you format the USB memory flash drive.

Throw it away (after taking a hammer to it, so that any "data" on it will definitely _NOT_ be able to be recovered). Then, for less than $20, buy a replacement.

Or, check the manufacturer's web-site. If it is still under warranty, maybe they will replace it, at minimal cost to you.
