I tried to use the program to transfer files from one computer to my new one. The usb holds 1 gig while the files were 1.6 gigs. Windows easy Transfer told me to copy up to one gig on the usb and put it on the new computer, delete the files and then put it back in the old one to get the rest of the files. So i did that, but when the rest of the 600 megs was on the usb. It made an *.MIG file that when I ran it asked for the first disk. Naturally I had no idea what it was talking about so I tried to delete it. But the drive is all of a sudden write protected. I tried to reformat the drive but it stills says it disk is protected. How to I get this stuff off my drive and disable the write protection so I can have my usb disk back as normal. Before the windows easy transfer messed with it. Thanks for any speedy responses.

Some USB drives (many in fact) have a minute little slide switch to lock and unlock the write access.

Are you very sure that you have not accidentally slid it to "locked"

There is no such switch on my USB drive. My USB drive is a 1 gig MICRO CENTER just in case a name in needed for it. It went into disk protection mode after the windows easy transfer was finished with it. Before I was able to copy and delete files off of it. I am sure it was that program that caused it. (Had it told me it would lock the usb drive I would have NEVER used it.)

I am grateful for all assistance.
