Bootex.log file in pendrive.

plz help me friends.............
my brother executed a command in command prompt by mistake and this created a file called bootex(a notepad file).
Now i can't delete any file and add any file to my pendrive.
It shows the the drive is write protected.
i think the command was chkdsk and it was stopped abruptly

the make of my pendrive is Transcand.-JF V30

^ If that file is causing problems, then I think you should delete it. It may not be a trojan or malware but it has made your drive write-protected. Delete it.

Also check if there is a small switch in the pen-drive. In many pen-drives, it is used to make the drive write-protected. Therefore if you find one, fix that.

no der is no switch.the file itself is causing the trouble.

Try this,

It is done for C: but you should do the same for your pen drive.

Also did u try the steps in Post #5.

bootex.log is created when your disk is scanned at boot time. (Remember "A disk scan is scheduled for checking the consistency of data" prompt that comes up during boot time which you can cancel by pressing a key.

@ rahul_kmr007 - if you are using linux try formating it from there Or just delete the file from linux. If you don't have linux installed use any live distro.
