Ok, Just Copy All Of the Files And Folders To Some Other Storage Device If you want to keep them. Then If Your USB Flash Drive Is Under Warranty And As You Said Don’t Want to Expose It To Others. Then You Should call SanDisk And As Fot an Exception.
On Damage USB Flash Drives. Then Thay May Tell You How To Make It Unreadable Before You Send It Back For Replacement.
I Read Some Where That one Person Did That And SanDisk Made A Exception The There Return Policy About User Adbuse.
Also I Have Taked A Look At This Write Protect Issue. It Not A Windows System Problem Or SanDisk Chip Issue, As The SadDisk USB Flash Drives Are Setup To Automaticly Go Into Wrire Protect Mode If Durring Writing To its Drive An Error Of Unrecovery Type, It Will Go Into Write Protect Mode. And At This Date And Time Your Only Option Is If Under Warranty Is To Return It, For Replacement Or maybe Refund ?
