It's likely that you have failed to notice a very small slider on the side
of the thumb drive, to write protect it. A lot of people have failed to see that. -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.

You can 'take ownership' of the files. If you have trouble seeing the
Permissions button on the Properties, you can boot to safe Mode (F8 on restart) Access is Denied Error Message When You Try to Open a Folder - Permissions: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/810881 -- Was this helpful?
