Ummm.... can you copy stuff off of it?
If so, copy it all into a folder on your desktop, then format it, that should do the trick.
yeah, but when I try to format it, it says that it is write protected and wont let me

I forgot that blocks that too, post a screenie of the properties please.
there ya go, if the tags are broken, then someone fix it
Edit by Tanner: When you try to post images from image shack, use the direct link. Else, you can take a link like the one you posted, and right-click on the image and select "Copy image URL". That should fix it

Did you try right-clicking in the root folder of the drive, going to Properties, and checking that in the Security tab your user has full control?
Yeah, img tags no longer wish to agree with me...
Anyways, there is no security tab, strange (unless you are thinking I am using xp?)

I'm assuming that you're using Windows 7 or Vista.
ah, in which case, there seems not to be a "security" tab
all I have is general, tools, hardware, sharing, readyboost, and customize
I think it's in sharing where you set permissions.
hhmm, ok then, now what would I have to do?
*bump*
well, I give up, I dont seem to make it useable...
I am going to staples to get a new USB drive >.<
Sometimes the chips on these things go bad, and that can manifest like this. It's possible that the flash drive is just dead
