I have a 2 GB Kingston Usb drive. This is working fine- I am able to format and access from 'My computer'

I am trying to format this drive using HP USB Storage format tool to load a bootable image on to the drive, it says "device media is write protected"

OS : Windows XP

what could be wrong ?

Thanks!

  1. Run regedit.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.
  3. Create a new key named StorageDevicePolicies.
  4. Highlight StorageDevicePolicies, and then create a mew DWORD (32-bit) value named WriteProtect.
  5. Double click on WriteProtect, and set its value to 1.
