USB Hard Drive Write Protect Error
Hi,
I'm running Vista x64 on a T61 notebook. I have a Western Digital Passport usb hard drive. I need to copy files larger than allowed by FAT32 so using my WinXP Pro desktop I shrunk the existing FAT32 partition, created a new partition, formatted it as NTFS. Using any WinXP PC, I have no problems accessing the NTFS partition on the hard drive. However, using Vista, I can read the partition, but not write to it. When I try to write to the NTFS partition, I get an error saying the drive is write protected. Any idea how I can fix this problem? Thanks. Regards-Michael G.
