ubs flash drive

[robert arnold]

I don't know how this flash drive became a read only drive.
It tells me to format drive and when i try to, it replies
that that its a read only disk and cant be formated? How
can i override or get rid of the read only , that won;t let
me use this flash drive....bob arnold

what is the manufacturer, model and size of the flash drive?

Was this flash drive working before or is it your first time trying to the format?

Did you buy it brand new or used. Just a few questions to help us get a better idea on helping you.
