    Most drives have an option in the settings whether you want them to be "Read Only" or not.

    When you plug it it, go to My Computer and right click on the drive.
    Go to the Properties and make sure Read Only is not ticked.

    Download one of the following registry tweaks to enable or disable writing to USB drives.

    Enable USB Write

    Disable USB Write

    Once you use the registry hack, you will have to reboot for the changes to take effect. One should also note that if you are using this trick, you should make sure that the users are not administrators on the computer, because they could easily change this setting back.

    This works on Windows Vista as well.
