FLASH DRIVE Became "Write Protected"?

[rkpgmp1]

Months ago I partitioned a 512 GB flash drive so that I could load other light shows for my FS CT. I had absolutely no issues with the flash drive until last week when I noticed that I was getting an Error Message on the screen saying that it was unable to mount the USB, and to try removing it and re-inserting, which did nothing. I removed the flash drive and when I looked at it on my laptop, all partitions are now WRITE PROTECTED, so I guess my question is whether or not anyone else has had this problem, and what did you do to resolve it? Thanks, Greg

There is a massive range of quality and performance with flash drives. Sounds like it could be dying.

if you don't care about the data currently on it, have the tesla re-format the drive to set it to the default settings. Then you should be able to use it normally. If not, it might be corrupted.
