Put it into any USB port and it accessed Part1, which had the security section which was write protected; if you let it install the host program, you could then access part2 which wasn't write-protected. That thing gave me more grief!! I finally had my husband delete the partition and reformat the thing so I could use it outside the house. There was _nothing_ that told me it was write protected or that it was partitioned until I went looking to see why it kept telling me it was full. Even then, the partition wasn't obvious.
