This happens if the pen drive is set to ‘read-only’. Follow these steps to remove this attribute:

1. Click Start and click ‘Computer’.
2. Right click the pen drive icon and click ‘Properties’.
3. Uncheck the ‘Read only’ box.
4. Click OK to save changes.

Hope it helped.

Hi, as i said, Im a total noob in computer stuff- so i've come to ask you guys, and hopefully solve my problem. Sad to say, but i own a e9180f. of course, it always get that error thingy and blue screens and stuff- just like other ones that are out there. Problem is, i missed the lawsuit thing for refurb and i dont think i can expect any service from HP at all-. I was hoping, since everyone was going crazy about motherboard, maybe problem is in motherboard and i could fix that problem by buying my own motherboard- could anyone please look into this and tell me what motherboard would be compactable with other stuff in my crappy pc? thanks-

I attempted to get support on a problem with my lap top and was on the phone with technicians for 2 hours and my problem is not near being resolved. The technicians were very friendly and very helpful though. They did their best, but I would rather take my computer to someone and be able for them to look at it in person. Before I knew that your service would be unable to help me, I agreed to pay for the annual service of $169.99. Since my problem was not resolved and I do not plan on using it again I would like to cancel my subscription. My account number is 6113008579 and my case number was 201111304615399 if you could let me know that you've cancelled the service I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all of your help. Gwen Ward This seems to be a good service provider, I wish I would have had better luck.

Hi, After a data recovery attempt (Reclame: writing a RAID 0 array image to disk) I wound up with a disk partition that looks OK in Computer Management/Disk Mgnt but I can't access the drive letter (Error: don't have permissions) and in My Computer the drive letter does not show the total disk space or free space. I tried rebuilding the partition table using TestDisk from www.cgsecurity.org but there was no change. I also ran ckdisk which completed ok. I also checked the permissions: Full for Everyone. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rusty
