Hello,
I have a 4GB Transcend Pen Drive, I cannot format it successfully because at the end of format it shows pen drive is write protected. Please do advice.

hye there,

You will have to remove the write protection from the registry options:

Get into the Registry - Press Start -> Run, enter regedit, press Ok
. Click on My Computer.

Then press File -> Export, give some file name to backup the registry. Just incase you ever need to rollback.

. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/StorageDevicePolicies

. In the right pane select "writeprotect"
. RESET the value to '0'

Thanks
