    Media is Write Protected When Transferring Ownership of a Folder


    Recently, I got locked out of my user folder which contains many of my important files. I have tried transferring ownership back to myself using properties and then going to the security tab and every time it just says "Unable to set new owners on users, the media is write protected". I've watched many videos and have looked at many community posts but nothing seems to work. If anyone could help me out with this issue that would be great.

    :)

    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!
