    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!

    Hey there!

    My name is Ravi, an independent advisor and expert user. I am happy to help you. disk write protection :)

    I understand how frustrating it can be to get "This disk is write-protected". Let's fix it together.

    Follow these steps:

    1. Hit Windows Key + X on your keyboard, and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.

    2. Type diskpart and press Enter.

    3. Type list disk and press Enter.

    4. Type select disk #(ex: Disk 1) to select the disk which is write-protected and press Enter.

    5. Type attributes disk clear read-only to change the disk’s properties so that it is no longer read-only and press Enter.

    6. Type exit and press Enter twice to exit Diskpart and Command Prompt continuously. Re-plug your USB flash drive to check if the write protection error is solved.

    If you have already tried it, and If this hasn't worked, please scan for viruses.

    Feel free to get in touch again if you have any additional questions.

    Cheers,

    Ravi
