USB Thumb Drive Issues

[butters9m]

A while back i wanted to make a windows install usb, and i didnt know how. I figured that if I just throw the boot files from windows on to the usb drive it would work. But now the usb drive has write protect. Ive tried every meathod off of youtube and google, but nothing works... If anyone has a good solution please let me know

If its write protected, its probably a dead usb. Just get a new one. This is probably unrelated to what you were doing.

USB drives are dirt cheap. Pick up any USB 2.0 drive that's 4-8GB for a couple dollars.

In UK you can get Sandusky 128gb USB3 for about £20 ($25)

Windows USB sticks don't need anything beyond an 8GB drive.
