    I cant remove write protection from my disk


    Well as i mentioned in my last post, i cant even start my computer properly and i cant do anything. I even tried it with win10 bootable installer. It also doesnt work, because of the main disk being write protected. I tried DeviceStoragePolities, diskpart, format, none of those work

    I hope that my pc isnt bricked

    The Disk Is Write Protected - How To Remove Write Protection

    Hi Fernanda,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    In regards to your concern, please help me with following questions:

    • Is the Hard drive external or internal?
    You can try following steps and check if that fixes the issue:

    1. Run Virus scan on the Hard Drive.
    2. Perform check disk commands on the Hard Disk to fix the Disk errors.
    Refer to this article.

    Note: Remove all the external devices before performing check disk.

    Data Loss Disclaimer:

    While performing these steps there might be a risk of data loss. You may take a backup of the data before performing the steps.

    Hope it helps.

    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!
