USB Write Protection Issue

Please do not bump a thread from a year ago. You should start a thread of your own and detail your issue there.

Xbox content such as saves are not meant to be ever put on your computer.

For me i putting a save from my computer that a friend gave me and i plugged in my usb into my xbox and it it said cant copy data to the device. Make sure its not write-protected.

Hi LegitCorgi38910,

I believe onyx62is has gave you a good answer. You can save your game to the cloud or your HDD, after you have done that you can go to My Xbox->System Settings->Memory and select the "USB Storage Device" that corresponds to your USB memory stick and select
the configure now option. This will ensure that your USB drive is fully compatible with your Xbox 360. I hope this helps.

Try choosing a separate save spot. You can use the Cloud service to save.

Hey there Brian! This definitely sounds frustrating, so let's see what we can do to get things sorted.

It sounds like the flash drive you're using may be on its way out, but just in case it's not, let's try to resolve the write protected issue first.

To get that sorted, I suggest finding a how-to guide for resolving write protection errors on a USB/Flash Drive. A couple good ones can be found here -

How To Fix Write Protection Errors On a USB Stick - and here -
How to Remove Write Protection From My USB Flash Drive. It very well could be something as simple as flipping a Write-Protection switch on the side of the flash drive.

If none of that works for you, then I'm sorry to say that it sounds like the USB/Flash drive may be on its way out. I would suggest taking another USB/Flash drive (if you have one) and try

downloading your profile to that drive. Once that's done, try accessing your profile, etc and see how things go.

Let us know how everything goes! We hope to hear back from you. =)
