....."so its finished, destroy it." - Eh?

Is that the best you can come up with?

If your gonna be SO TECHNICAL as to tell the poor person to destroy it, at least have the decency to illustrate the BEST MEANS of achieving this objective!

How would you destroy it?

More importantly, why would you destroy it?

It's not in immediate danger of self-combusting is it?

Is the "write lock" on ?

by ugadata · 15 years ago In reply to 128 MB flash drive I/O er ...

Similar to floppies there is a write lock switch on the USB drive to prevent writing to the device.

However, I would think that also prevents reformatting the device as well, which possibly indicates a defective USB drive.

As you explained, I also faced the same problem. I can read all contents from drive, But unable to write. Even I tried to format, Lo luck, I/O error.

When I contacted, Sandisk they asked me to send it to them and they are ready to provide replacement.
