I dont believe it

I spent a good 30 minutes dabbling with the functions of my cheapo mp3 player and was wondering why I cant delete the folder from the drive.

My player serves as a thumb drive as well, so it is one of those drag and drop drive. When I need to change songs I would just need to delete the existing files and add new ones.

But just now, it kept showing me the error message that the files are write-protected. I thought it is because I after I connected the drive I initiated a virus sweep, so that system is automatically thinking that the drive is a permanent drive.

So I waited and waited, finally the sweep was done but still the files are protected. Kao!

Click here click there also no use, finally I realised that my player is on 'hold' mode. Released the mode and files can be deleted.

I dont believe it, how come got this funny function one? And why the stupid manual in the stupid cd never explain. Sheesh.
