    Drive can be formatted and read-only = no, but always getting "The media is write-protected".


    I have a computer with multiple PCIe SSD drives attached, all the same model, one for each partition. The C: partition, hosting windows 10, is fine, the other suddenly behave as if the were read-only, so I can only read the content, but I'm unable to write anything. The funny thing is I can format those other partitions no problem, but then when I try to create a folder or a file in them, then it's back to access denied. I can't fathom what the issue could be, I tried to check under disk management, but the disks are marked read-only = no, so should be fine. I can remove partitions and volumes
