DriveKey doesn't work.  It reports "Device media is 
write-protected."  I just tried it using that download but I've had a 
copy for a year now with no luck.

I'm not sure what's trashing my flash drives, but it seems like it 
could have been the home DVD player.  I won't plug any sticks in it 
to find out.  I use my 500bg portable USB drive all the time on the 
player and haven't had any problems, but I do realize "it ain't a USB stick".
