i have a 64 gig PNY usb flash drive that has data on it that is "shared with no-one" i have tried to format the drive but MS, ubuntu , xbox, ps3, killdisk, dban, low level format, diskpart all wont format the drive since its "write protected" Next to stamping on it is there anything that can be done to format the drive and so remove the "write protected data"? i have backed up the data on the stick do there is no need to worry about loosing the data. the laptop the data came from has gone to laptop heaven and as such no chance of of getting anything from there if that was even possible.
thanks
