I had a USB stick that went weird on me and went to write-protect. Theres no switch on it and other efforts failed. So I decided to pull off everything and reformat it. Except... one issue. Windows complained it was write-protected. So I grabbed the HP USB Disk Storage Tool, which is made for HP drives but works on other ones as well. So its been 12 hours and its only half-done (I used the full format). What exactly is going on with this? Cant exactly cancel it b'cos it might corrupt the drive (and I cant afford to lose that).
