Hi ,

I have a Kingston USB stick, recently when i copied some files on it i breached up the process of copying files and it seems that "write protection" have been activated on it.

I TRIED to FORMAT it from Windows and also from DOS but it was not working the files from stick are still there, also i tried a special software for this called "JetFlash OnLineRecovery" but was UNABLE to see my usb stick...

I want to remove that "write protection" setting from my usb stick, and start use it normally like before.

Please if you have an idea about this give me a hand !

Thanks !
