How to remove write protecton in my pendrive

Hi, when I follow your suggested approach, I do not get the "storagedevicepolicies". I only get "storage" under the control tab. Is there a way to add this particular tab to my system. I run a Window Vista HP desktop.
Thanks for any advice you may give me.

I just want to say THANK YOU,

I have a Seagate FreeAgenk Desk external drive and could not get it to format because of the Write-Protect error. I called Seagate and they could not help me and told met that with Windows XP Home I was unable to access administrator rights to remove the Write-Protect error.

I found this site and used your suggestion, my external drive is currently formating.

I want to tell Seagate to take notice of sites like this and people like you.

Eveyone try it, it worked. just don't forget to Format your drive when you are done.

first of all my pen drive is also showing to be write protected.
then is followed your instruction but there also I found storage but not device policies and then the rest.

you said in the right side we would be getting writeprotect option but that also I didnt get.

so now what should I do. pls suggest...

I tried your "solution"..It just keeps telling my cannot find "file path"..tried typing it in many different ways to no avail??? My PNY was working fine...pulled it out of my port device and put it in my camera and all of a sudden the disk was "write protected" what could have caused this
