Azzellie1 Posted February 28, 2007 CID Share Posted February 28, 2007 What do you mean, write protected?. If you have a MSDOS disk jus put it into the floppy drive , then tell the computer to boot from the floppy drive. you will get the DOS prompt, then type formate.

Other wise I have this great partition manager which boots your PC up from a disk a normal CDROM and it manages partitions great and can format and all that.

resopalrabotnick Posted February 28, 2007 CID Share Posted February 28, 2007 the apacer is a usb flash drive. it might have a small sliding switch to set it to write protected. look for a small slider on the case and move it, then try writing to it again.

resopalrabotnick Posted February 28, 2007 CID Share Posted February 28, 2007 hm. go to the apacer.com website, find the model you have, download the appropriate manual. there are some that come with a compression software. that shouldn't write protect the stick but might be causing the problem you are having.
