5.0 out of 5 stars write-protected solution, August 8, 2005

This review is from: Iomega Micro Mini 256 MB USB 2.0 Drive (32922) (Personal Computers)

the write-protected error message in windows xp appeared when you unplug the key without clicking on the "clean unplug" on the taskbar.

to fix it, open the configuration panel, then go to "system" and "devices", look on the storage device where there is hard disk and other. you should see the name of your usb key. right-clic on it and choose "uninstall". Then unplug and plug again to force the reinstallation: the problem has disappeared.

Avoid unplugging it again without telling windows that you intend to...

2.0 out of 5 stars The Windows-XP write-protection problem, June 22, 2005

I've experienced exactly the same problem with my drive: most often Windows XP says the drive was write-protected - although the drive doesn't have any write-protection mechanism at all. I'm really frustrated! I've sent an email to Iomega on the support page - they immediately sent a new device to me, without even asking me further about the problem. I got that new drive before I had to send back my apparently defect one and it didn't cost me anything. So far, very good customer support, but ... the new drive doesn't work and Windows XP gives me exactly the same error message. I tried the drive in several computers with several different XP versions (SP1, SP2) and always experienced the same problem. Don't buy this drive!

This is a wonderful little product (provided it doesn't fall off the cheap "keychain" or slip out of the plastic sleeve). The main problem I encountered is with good old Windows XP. On my work PC (a Compaq), the device works like a charm. On my home laptop (Dell Inspirion), Window's insists on treating the device as "read only" and will not allow you to save any files to the product. I've been through Iomega's online chat help, to no avail. Given the buggy operations of Windows XP in general, and adding on the differences in manufcaturers installation of XP, conflicts with resident memory programs such as anti-virus or firewall programs, even a simple product like this can frustrate!
