03:15:09 <bottom_out> anyone ever heard of portableapps write protecting a thumb drive? I can't do anything with it. not even with the portableapps software.
03:19:43 <auscompgeek> Nope.
03:19:58 <auscompgeek> Are you sure YOU didn't write-protect it?
03:22:30 <bottom_out> Positive!
03:24:01 <bottom_out> I started getting some error msgs when I loaded the drive. Windows promted me to scan and fix error. I exited and uses the built in utiliy on portableapps.
03:25:00 *** sar3th|away has quit (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.sourceforge.net)
03:25:54 <bottom_out> Never fixed it so I tried to reinstall the software. I got errors... Tried to format, got error. Widows says its writeprotected. Same thing on two machines.

03:53:12 <Gizmokid2005> bottom_out: PA.c software will NEVER write protect a drive. Ever.
03:55:26 <bottom_out> Well, I've got two machines here that both say the drive is write protected and there is no switch on this drive. It won't even let me run Disk Check.
03:57:03 <Gizmokid2005> PortableApps.com software doesn't have abilities to write protect a drive.
03:57:08 <Gizmokid2005> it could be a permissions issue
03:57:54 <Gizmokid2005> Windows won't allow a checkdisk unless you are an admin
04:00:13 <auscompgeek> the so called builtin utility is not builtin
04:00:46 <auscompgeek> it runs the Windows chkdsk utility
04:01:24 <auscompgeek> Gizmokid2005: that only affects Windows NT/2000/XP, not Vista/7.
04:01:56 <Gizmokid2005> auscompgeek: no, it affects 6/7 moreso than previous...because of U AC
04:02:18 <auscompgeek> Only for HDDs.
04:02:38 <auscompgeek> I can chkdsk my USB on Vista, and I'm not an admin on that computer.
04:18:22 <ChrisMorgan> My understanding is that chkdsk can run without admin (just detecting errors), but chkdsk /f can't.
