My friend is already going out the door to return it. Since he only bought it yesterday, he's doesn't want to spend any more time on it.

Thanks again.

Thank you for the links, unfortunately the program doesn't find the device.


Try the SONY one - it may work with other brands...

A friend's new memory stick write protected itself while storing movies on it. Any one know how to remove the protection and restore access it.


If the memory stick does not have a sliding switch to turn on write protection, download and try this:

http://www.apacer.com/en/support/downloads/Repair_v2.9.1.1.zip

It's a low level formatter for USD flash drives.

If it's a Sony MicroVault stick, they have a UFD Formatter program on their support site for their sticks at the bottom of this page:
