The files in USB drive must be all marked read-only. go to cmd prompt by::

Start, RUN, cmd (you need to type cmd in the box)
Now change to the USB drive by typing
E:
or whatever it is on your system.

Now type :

attrib -r *.* /s

See if this has changed all the attributes of the file on this drive.
