from after that, i can perfectly fine copy the few file that rufus copied to usb drive, from usb to hdd but i can not copy anything to usb, neither i can delete anything from usb or format it!
now even "delete" is absent in right-click menu!
i am getting this damn "write-protected" error from all the programs that i have tried so far! in this picture i was trying to copy a picture file to usb V

after that i thought maybe this usb drive, accidentally in the same time that i used rufus, failed due to hardware problems, so i tried another 16GB usb drive and exactly same thing happened!
so two 16GB usb drives of mine got faulty this way!
how may i correct this? (i am really frustrated.)
