There was once where my USB flash drive became write protected after I unplugged it from the computer lab's PC without disabling it

Luckily I'm not storing anything private inside the USB flash drive

Just to try it out (what have you got to lose ?) :

1. Re-install mainboard drivers (gotta have the latest ones !)

2. plug your colleague's thumbdrive back in, stop the thumb drive manually and then remove it.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it.
