Dude there is a real issue with these USB drive at the moment, I did
some research and discovered that there are four types of usb chips
being produced in china at the moment

Type A - Top Quality 100% guaranteed

The following Type A and B are produced at the same time as Type A but
due to their position on the silicone their produced on are sold off
or scraped.

Type B -
second grade still good quality but most manufacturers wont take the
risk of putting there name on them

Type C -
(the type I think You bought) are produced on the very edge of the
silicone and have a tendency to fail 30- 40% of the time and are
considered junk by the manufacturer

Type D -
Recycled chips from ether type B/C sources or from other sources.

Sorry but I thing you might have to swallow your losses

next time you should try a supplier that gives you a lifetime
guarantee

Well... Kingston USB drive that this one claimed to be would normally come with
a 5-year (not lifetime on USB drives... they do wear out eventually)...

But all of this would only apply is it was a "REAL" Kingston USB, which I would
put money on the fact that it is not.

a button or little peice on the stick that locks access to the drive
as read only...
