:smiley:   Hi Sahilbatheja,

Dear member of SanDisk Community, welcome.

Please, try the Cruzer in other PCs, and see if the problem continues.

If still bad, do not grieve more friend, return it, because is dead, ist kaputt.

Write protection errors occur when a UFD detects a potential fault within itself.

The drive will go into write-protected mode to prevent data loss.
There is no method to fix this.

Contact SanDisk Technical Support who will replace the device if it’s authentic and is within warranty.

To obtain the internal data of the UFD, you can use (portable apps, free): USB Flash ChipGenius 4.00, http://filecloud.io/rqa7etmv
