Huh? No; the computer writes to its own Flash dirve just fine.

Hello, everyone.

 

At the recent Washington Seminar, I purchased one of the 8-gig Whozit
memory-sticks NABS was selling. Pretty cool!

 

Recently, however, I seem to have inadvertently triggered "write-protect"
behavior, i.e., my BrailleSensePLUS requires two iterations to delete a file
and I can't write to the drive anymore. Have I inadvertently put too much
stuff on the drive or, more plausibly, is there a write-protect bit or
switch I don't know about? And if there's a write-protect switch, where the
heck is it? Failing this, how can I fix the problem? I'm not being allowed
to reformat the drive.

 

T I A!

 

Mike Freeman
