My trancend 8 gb has become write protected. I used the regidit formula but the problem continued

all pen drives are like jokers of a pack of cards....they behave very funny when you need them....
one of the most stupid inventions of the computer world....are these pen drives....
they are very much likely to carry virus from PC to PC....unlike the CD / DVD that cant be written without using a write program.....like Nero etc....CD/DVD disk are write protected by default....but the USB sticks can be used by drag and drop files.....so the virus get in without the user doing anything....
also when you thingk that you are buying a 4 GB pen drive, some times the dulicate are not exactly 4 GB...they are just 1 GB...and show 4GB as capacity...after using for some time they show their real face(1GB) and the drive becomes useless....
To tell you the fac many mfg are packing more and more space into a pen drive...like 32 GB, etc...but actually the physical capacilty is only 2 GB but expanded to 8 Gb / 12 / 16 GB using a compress program....after few uses....that becomes usless.....

Probably a drive letter conflict
go to disk management, right click on the trancend drive and change drive letter, choose a letter further down , maybe T for trancend

Hi,
This can be simply removed by changing the position of the write protect lock on the pen drive body. Please refer the figure.


Please come back and rate my solution if turns to be helpful for you or also if you need more clarification. Thnx :)

I ve a 4 GB genx USB that.It become write protected. How do I remove the write protect so i can reformat it? The device doe't have a write protection switch. What's wrong with it?

Try on other systems too. If it still doesnt work, try getting it replaced.

1. Select all cells (either press Ctrl+A or click on the small upper left square on the edge of the worksheet)
2. In the menu bar, go to Format - Cells
3. In the popup menu that opens, click on the Protection tab (it should be the last one on the menu)
4. Deselect the small box tagged Locked
5. Click on OK. Now all your cells can be overwritten, regardless the protection status of the worksheet.
6. Select only the cells containing formulas that you want to hide (If you need to perform multiple selection, you can press and hold down the Ctrl key, while clicking on each cell you want to select)
7. In the menu bar, go to Format - Cells
8. In the popup menu that opens, click on the Protection tab
9. Tick the small box tagged Hidden and the Locked box as well. If you don’t tick the Locked box, other users of your worksheet would be able to overwrite the formula cells, without even knowing that they contain formulas (as they become invisible following this operation).
10. Click on OK
11. In the menu bar, go to Tools - Protection - Protect Sheet
12. If you want, you can input a password for unlocking the worksheet. This will prevent others from unlocking it. If you don’t want to do that, leave the password field blank and press OK.
13. Now click on one of your cells containing formulas and look at the formula bar. It should be empty, although the formula is still there. The cell would remain locked, but it would be automatically updated when changing the content of its precedents relating to the contained formula.
