Problem with Windows 7 and an external hdd
I have a small external hard drive which has worked previously perfectly well with windows vista.
I now have windows 7. I need to format the recently unused drive, but Windows will not allow me to do this as it insists that the drive is write protected.
How can I get around this? I need the drive to be accessible, its not because Windows wants me to format it, I cannot because it is write protected.
Any ideas please?
