Sandisk cruzer 16GB became read-only

 I have ran the CHKDSK program from the command prompt. Sorry, but I believe that I am correct in my assessment. There is nothing wrong with my disk. It will not allow me to reformat it period. I’ve been on the merry-go-round for two weeks now, and even experts at “Staples” the store where I purchased it are baffled by this. They know all about fat32 systems, but the disk reacts for them the same way as it does for me. I’m just saying that unless you format the disk in the NTFS as soon as it is placed in the USB port, you are saying that you are satisfied with the fat32 format and accept its limitations. The limitations are that you can’t reformat it to a more desireable format.
