I dont have any On/OFF switch for my thumpdrive. It was workling very fine for about 3 months. Its 128 MB Apacer Memory disk. When i am installing it to my computer, the icon of the drive also looks different. I cannot delete any of the files from the file. But i can copy it to hard disk. When I try to delete it warn to change the write protection or use another disk.

You probably should contact the manufacturer of the drive.
