Good Lord. After deciphering this post, I think you should check for a little switch on the thumb drive itself that locks it.

They make thumbdrives with lock/unlock switches like floopies? I've never seen one.

I don't see anything on drive protection for it.

Open my computer and right click the drive, select properties, then the tools tab, and run the error checking.
