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!

 

32GB USB "Suddenly" is Write Protected; Cannot Format or Delete Files?

I don't see a physical switch on the drive to enable/ disable write protection. Depending on how I went about to solve this I either got the message Write Protected or Read Only. Generic SanDisk Ultra 32GB stick. It was formatted fat32 and I got the message that I needed to format to NTFS in order to write larger files to it which I did and successfully formatted to NTFS. In the process of writing 2 video files I got an error message for one of the files though I do not recall what it said. One of the video files plays normally the other one it says unsupported. Both of the original files play fine on the computer. I do not recall what if any activity I used the disk for previously. I tried several methods to remove the read only/ write protection:

From the above link I tried the Diskpart command fix which did not work and when I tried the Regedit.exe fix and created a new StorageDevicePolicies key and that did not work.


















And I also tried this:







All to no avail. So any further input appreciated. Just to reiterate I want to be able to format and or delete files from the USB flash drive and remove the Read Only and Write Protected. TIA.
