Interesting, is the USB drive recognized under 'my computer' now? The program should detect it. Anyway, to run regedit, if you are on windows 7, go to start menu, then type in 'regedit' under search. If XP, you go to start menu - run- then type regedit.
A new window should pop up titled 'regedit editor'. Then, on the left hand window, you just follow the path HKEYLOCALMACHINE SYSTEM Currentcontrolset control storagedevicepolicies. Then on the right hand side of the tab you should see 'writeprotect' option. Right click and modify the value from 1 to 0.

It's tucked away in Control Panel-System and Security-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Disk Management If that doesn't work, try using the Acronis Disk Director. I've used it in the past with drives of funky sizes, and it was able to connect all the missing/seperated pieces back together. The trial's free, and it's got a little more bulk than the Window's tool.
