FRNDS If you have windows XP with SP2,
then you can disable the  writing option to USB drives.
WHAT IT WILL DO?
This trick is  very useful if you have virus in your computer and want to copy files  from a USB Drive but don’t want to transfer virus to the USB.
STEPS  to disable the USB writing option:
To edit the computer  registry, first you should log onto your computer with administrative  rights.
First click on Start button and type “Regedit” in Run  option.
Here locate the location to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Here  in right side panel, click right to create a key with the name  “StorageDevicePolicies”.
Now in left side panel, select  “StorageDevicePolicies” key, again right click to create new DWORD value  then label it “WriteProtect”. Set its value to “1″. But again to enable  writing, set its values to “0″.
THATS IT
Now close the  registry editor and restart your computer after any changes to go into  effect.
