When I jump through the hoops to repair the drive, I'm alerted that it is write protected.
No, there is no physical write protect switch that I inadvertently bumped...
I cannot clear the write protection by any means I've found asking almighty google. I can look at all the files, but can no longer do anything else.
Last time this happened, and I wasted a few hours trying in vain to fix it, I ended up trashing the USB and using another. Looks like I'm in the same spot now?
Anyone else ever run into this?
