Open My Computer after plugging your USB drive into your computer. Right-click on that drive and select Properties. On the "General" tab you simply type in the name you want and click <OK>. You have a limited number of characters and cannot use spaced and certain characters. Letters and numbers are fine.

Try using chkdsk /? It displays help.Actual cmd would something like: chkdsk e: /f

Is there a slider type of switch that can be moved to the "unlocked" position? Or, how old is it? After a lot of usage, it becomes impossible to "write" to it, and so it becomes "read-only". At 4GB in size, it only costs about $4 to replace it.

at the command prompt (dos) type chkdsk x:/f /r (where x is the micro sd)

(laptop) unplug the power cord, then take out the battery, unplug all usb devices, leave it alone for a minute or two and then replug the power cord and then the battery. Turn the computer on and restart as normal. replug in your usb devices and they will reinstall as usual

enter it into computer and fix it.

You should be able to by going to my computer, then right clicking your USB device and either FORMAT or go to properties and on the tabs select tools and error check. You may have the possibility to Format there as well. If that fails I suggest downloading a separate program in linux, such as Hirens Pack...They have Hard Drive/Memory specific program applications + plenty of DOS applications at your fingertips for just about everything else...just be very careful which ones you choose to mess with. Only for advanced users. Hope this helps
