There must be a write protection switch on the USB drive that he must have turned on.

Digital brat is right.
I have seen Umax pen drives having this option.

pen drives have LOCK/ UNLOCK button...so check that out...its similar to what floopy drives have :wink:

Its not a fault but just a write protection option given by the company....so just move the button to other side and it should be unlocked..... :D
