  1. Files won't open after 9/21 update - says write protected


    I hope you can help me. I do a lot of digital artwork on my computer. I make a living from this and have quite a few images in files in my computer. I had an extra long update happen overnight and now when I try to open my artwork files, it won't let me. It says that they are write protected. Please tell me there is a way for me to get these files to open because we are talking about literally thousands of hours of work and some of these images are supposed to be going to a third party in the next 24 hours!

    :)

    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!
