how do I remove the write protected from a flash drive.

I've seen a few flash sticks with the old RO clip on them, a la floppy disks. When you flip that the disk might unmount and remount in Windows before it is usable.

If you're getting an Access Denied error, you might have formatted the USB stick as NTFS on another computer, and not given your current user (or EVERYONE) write access to the stick.

Just a few thoughts.

Check your flashdrive, it may have a write protect (safety) button. If it does try pushing it the opposite direction than what is was, otherwise check properties in PC.
