the USB is its only source of power and interface , so it must be repaired , and I know that if you send it in to have it repaired they will insist that it must be emptied , its unfortunately unecessary and theyall do it , find someone who is very handy at soldering to help youget it fixed

4 different ways how to eventually solve this problem:
1) Try a program Thumbscrew (http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/thumbscrew-software-usb-write-blocker) which switches storage devices' write protection on or off.
2) Or do the same thing manually, by go to Start > Run > type "regedit" > Ok HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies\WriteProtect
Value 1 is for "on" and 0 for "off".

3) Plug the USB hard driver in different USB slots on your computer, maybe one of them is faulty.
4) Disable the Disk Write Caching of the relevant USB hard disk drive:

1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Hardware tab.
3. Click Device Manager.
4. Click the plus sign (+) next to the Disk Drives branch to expand it.
5. Right-click the drive on which you want to enable or disable disk write caching, and then click Properties.
6. Click the Disk Properties tab.
7. Click to select or clear the Write Cache Enabled check box as appropriate.
8. Click OK.
