how to remove write protected on transcend pen drive

how to remove write protected on transcend pen drive

i have a problem with my 2 USB pen drives
One is LG 1 GB
Second is Kingstone 2 GB
the problem occurs after i copy someting to the drive, and then safely remove it, when it says that It’s safe to remove the drive, my computer freezes, after that i couldn’t do anything, nothing could be accessed except i could open task manager and then log off.

and another problem i have when i try to clear all records of recently used documents and other things, the action takes too much time and doesn’t finish.

so please help me if you can.

another problem i forgot to mention in my previous comment
which is sometimes when i start my computer it wouldn’t start, a sound from the DVD drive appears it’s trying to access it like when it starts normally but the sound continues and the computer dosen’t start, the problem was solved several times when i remove the memorry chips and the cables of whatever i can reach of them, but it’s not solved so quickly so please help me with that also.
thank you.

Hello, I have a problem as I cannot access my USB memory stick and now even card of my camera.
When I plug them in they are both recognized, and the drive letter is also assigned to them. But when I try to open the drive I get an error “I:\ is not accessible, access is denied”. The curiosity is that from windows explorer i can access the contents of the pen drive without any problem.

I checked the USB stick on another computer and it works fine. Other USB devices such as the printer connected to this computer are working fine.

I’m using WinXP SP3.

Anyone have any idea what could cause this, or where else can I look to fix this problem?
It’s getting quite critical.
