SOURCE: PNY 4 G USB DISK IS WRITE PROTECTED

Not sure what exactly is happening when you try to use the disk. Is it a used disk? Did you just purchase it? Do you get an error when trying to use it?

From the limited information, I would suggest going to the website and seeing if there is a solution from PNY: http://www2.pny.com/support/support_landing_cat.aspx?SectionID=1143 (their support page).

If it still doesn't work, post more details & I'll see if I can help.

Have a good day!

Is it ok if my PNY 16GB flash drive is flashing red but working fine?

You should first read the documentation to see exactly what the flashing read light means. It could mean that the drive is near full capacity. Try removing/transferring a few files to your hard drive to see if the flahing read stops. As long as it works ok, I wouldn't be too concerned.

WHY WONT MY 16GB PNY FLASHDRIVE WORK WHEN I DOWNLOAD A MOVIE ONTO IT?

Perhaps it has not been prepped, eg: not formated to use. Format it with fat32 file system using formatting software from the manufacturer. Also, make sure the movie file does not exceed 16 GB.

What's your problem?My PNY 16Gb sdhc mememry card keeps saying card error in my camera

There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". The most common cause is having the tiny slide switch on the side of the card in the wrong position. The second most common is trying to use a 4GB or higher SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. There are also other common causes if the above didn't help, with troubleshooting steps for this problem listed here.

How do i remove the write protection on pny 8GB usb flash drive

Here is the answer from PNY.
http://www2.pny.com/support/support_single_faq_viewer.aspx?ArticleID=1415&RootSectionID=1057

Be warned, this is a low level format tool from them. What ever is on your flash drive will be erased.

I went exploring on these drives and found that when they start acting like they are write protected, it means that the drive corrupted. The low level format tool, will completely reformat that drive, and hopefully correct the problem.

They say it happens (usually) if you removed the drive from a computer, without using the safe eject USB function.

If this is a new flash drive, take it back to where you got it, and ask for a replacement.
