My problem is my usb kinston 8 gig was overwrite protected how to format this usb

There are two ways to make a drive write-protected.

1. Physical switch on the USB Drive.
2. Using the firmware of the USB Drive.

If your USB Drive does have a small switch on the outside then you can try to move it to the other position and see if that helps.

If your USB Drive does not have a physical switch that means that a firmware based write-protect has been enabled.

The only way to fix this problem is to contact the person you received the USB Drive from and have them reformat the USB Drive.

Your drive is write protected. If you want to reformat it use this tool:

If the problem persist (USb keep going to write protected mode) then the USb drive is broken and you should replace it.

Cancel ''write protect'' on USB memory stick

If no physical switch, then check the software that came with. Some sticks have a software component that recognizes when you plug the stick in and gives you options for viewing and launching applications from the stick. There may be controls you can use to change the write protect.
If not, or you can also try, opening a view to the stick from Windows Explorer and just delete files from there as you would from any drive. Windows will prompt you to confirm delete. I wouldn't delete any auto-load or setup apps that would be used to connect to another computer.
