    on your machine, go to addrremove programs, select SEP

    modify remove NTP, keep only AV/AS

    reboot the box, once up

    check if your USB works

    if it works then its the policy which is blocking

    Not be work. Try all the troubleshoot. Also tried in safe mode. Disk is write protected.

    One more add on.

    I have tried to delete the internal file but delete option is not avaialble.

    I have also go to manage -> Disk Management. It status is read only.

    If it is not be sort out as any of the above solution then it sure that it is not be lock by symantec.

    Any third party tool has block it.

    For the last verification. You can try it on that system where sym antec not available.
