      I tried to put a file on my G drive and suddenly I'm getting an error that it's write protected.

      I was using it yesterday and it was fine.

      Any ideas?

          Hmm, I tried the link, but Vista keeps putting it back to write protected every time I reboot.

          Windows 7 doesn't have this problem.

            You need to obtain Microsoft's "hotfix" for this.

            Instructions and a link to download the hotfix is available from this page: hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/840781

            (Click on "View and request hotfix downloads" at the top of the page to get the hotfix).
