Default Write protected USB pen??

As above - had a USB pen for a while now, came to use it and a message is displayed saying the disk is write protected????? I cannot save or take files from the pen?????

PS - there is no little switch to enable/disable write protection.

Has anybody got any ideas, or is it FUBAR'd!!??

Thanks, Nick.

FUBAR'd m8

Not entirely uncommon in flash drives. I'm guessing you can't format it either?
If there's a warranty remaining on it, take it back.

If not, use this as a good excuse to upgrade to a U3 pen
