There are several possibilities:
- Check if there is a physical write protect switch on the side of the flash drive. If there is set it to the opposite position it is in now.
- Your operating system may be set to prevent writing to USB drives. Google how to change this setting for the appropriate operating system.
- Your flash drive needs a low level format. Check with your manufacturer's web site for details.
- Your drive is toast and should be replaced.
