How do I remove the Flash DRIVE and external hard drive write protection

Original title: A distress call

My Kingston Traveller of 16G flash drive as my 320 G external drive HP say that they are write protected.  I'm not sure how that becomes activated but would really like to know how to disable.

Your best bet is to consult the manual for readers, and you can also ask on the manufacturer's Web site.  For example: http://www.kingston.com/support/

    In the original version (traditional uninstall), you are given a screen that lets you choose what to uninstall, and then you clear again (if there). If you do not have this option, and then try to uninstall in Windows via Control Panel.

    I just tested and it gives you the screen.

  • Flash drive, write protected after the use of Ready Boost

    I have a 8 GB USB flash drive, and I've been using ~ 4 GB for Ready Boost for quite a while now. When I tried to write something on the drive recently, I get a message saying that it is write protected. I tried to change the size of the cache, but has nothing - no error and no change. Tried turning off RB for the drive and nothing. There is no protection switch on the drive, so nothing to break. Tried to restart, refomratting the drive - no joy.

    Only, I could get a new drive because they are so cheap, but this one has a MicroSD in it like a separate disk drive, so I would keep

  • How can I remove the flashing lights on the photos?

Sometimes on the images, e.g. bing images and even now on my flash drive images, there are little flashing lights that looks almost like Christmas lights usually located on dark areas of images. Simply load the flash player and seen even on here so I wonder if it has anything to do with the flash player. Has anyone ever heard talk about this before? Thank you

  • How can I remove the user name and the image of Windows XP new Start Menu

    Two questions:

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The image of user account can be removed by disabling the Welcome screen. Or, by opting for the classic Windows theme. Follow the method described in this article, if you want to remove the user name and the picture in the Start Menu, without disabling the Welcome screen and Windows XP theme.

    For those who want to delete the user name and the image of user account from the Start Menu, in order to have a blue white Panel at the top, try this:

    Step 1:

    a. start Windows Explorer and go to this folder:
     
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft account images

    b. in this folder, rename the BMP file that corresponds to your user account.
     
    (For example, if your user name is Robert, rename Robert.bmp to old_Robert.bmp)

    c. then rename the following folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft account Pictures\Default pictures
     
    to something else, for example,.
     
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft account Pictures\No_Default images.

    Step 2:
     
    To remove the user name, follow these steps

    a. Click Start, click "RUN" and type "regedit.exe" and navigate to this key:
     
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER-Software-Windows Microsoft\------CurrentVersion-policies-Explorer

    b. in the right pane, the value NoUserNameInStartMenu-value data 1.

    c. close Regedit.exe and restart Windows.

    You'll find yourself with a blue area at the top of the Start Menu.

    Regarding the pressing 'F1' to start Windows, you have made no changes or was there a system crash after which the problem started?

    You may need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS to the default settings. I recommend you contact your PC vendor for this.

    Warning of the BIOS:
    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • How can I remove the existing driver files to overcome (Code 39) USB drivers?

    I am running Vista Home Premiun 32 and generally have few problems for about 18 months because my laptop came with the operating system installed.

    Recently, my USB drivers do not work (as in the drivers of USB controller rather than the connected devices). Device displays the symbol of my USB controllers and gives code 39 error Manager, that's to say the drivers are install correctly, but Windows is unable to run. Windows can certainly find and identify devices.

    Two things happened before that:
    (1) I have receieved some windows updates.
    (2) I installed a backup software which seems to have prevented windows start: I had to uninstall the software by using regedit via the command prompt, and then, everything seemed fine.

    It may, however, have been a problem that has just reached the point of crisis, given that windows has grown more glitch with my wireless adapter built-in and now don't see any; I think it's connected via USB controllers.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the USB controllers. I even deleted the INF cache and repeated the process of re - install.

    Now, I want to delete the files from the driver completely from the driver store. Existing files are old (modification dates are from the beginning of 2008, or even from 2006), and I want to force Windows to find entirely new software drivers. When I uninstall, I not give me the option to delete files. When I try to delete them manually, I find that I don't have the correct security permissions to do so. Windows doesn't let me change the permissions, simply showing the menus change with the buttons greyed out.

    This problem is in danger of turning my laptop a doorstop; There, someone at - it a solution?

    Thanks for any help,
    Ackers
