after installing windows 7 both my usb sticks wont let me copy to them or re-writable dvd and cd's wont. They all say they are write protected. How can i resolve this issue? i have tried everywhere for information on taking of the write protection but i cant. It is causing havoc within my home. Can someone please help me to resolve it. Please

Hehehehehe...it looks like a registry entry is blocking it!!storagedevicepolicies\writeprotect =1:Du might've created it or someone has done on behalf of u..Kind regards,RR

If the key registry value is available, its under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control If the issue persists, try disabling security programs and then update BIOS to the latest version.Vivian Xing - MSFT
