    How to Remove Write-Protection from an OEM USB Drive?


    I did all that. After I entered, "ATTRIBUTES DISK CLEAR READONLY", I didnt get a prompt stating that the write protect has been removed. But the command prompt stated that disk attributes cleared successfully.

    But when I tried to format the USB drive I get a pop up window stating that its still write-protected. Do you have any other suggestions?

    Write Protection Removal

    My laptop did not wake up from sleep. The drive where Windows is installed is locked. The volume is Write-Protected. Chkdsk cannot run to fix the drive. How can the drive be not write-protected or remove the write-protection?
