Problem
My flash disk encountered an error saying that it has been write protected, so of course I can't even copy files or even format my flash drive. What happened to my flash drive to cause this? And is there a way I can I fix this?

Fix for: Remove the write protection from a USB flash disk
Low Risk
Check that your flash drive doesn't have a switch on it somewhere that turns on write protected mode. If you can't find a switch (and you bought this / e.g. not a promotional stick that is designed for write once) then it may be corrupt or otherwise…
