Disabling Write Protect

Ok I have a problem. Whenever I try to disable write protect in the trouble shooting menu on my control panel the enable write protect tab box switches on. And if I take both of them off they will still work cooperatively. Anyway to permanently take it off ? I have a USB drive which wont let me delete my files unless I disable write protect. But like I said if I try to take it off its still on. So any help ? Thnx.

If you are talking about the small USB key drives then check to be sure the lock tab is off.
