Windows 10: My USB Flash Drive Is Write Protected, and I can't get a corrupted file off of it, so I...

This started this morning, I'm using it to record commercial breaks and continuities on my TV using an Analog to Digital converter on my digital TV, and then I saw that a file was corrupted, I tried recording on the converter, and it gave me an error. I tried everything I could, but it didn't work. I even tried getting to the USB switch, but I couldn't get it because I am not strong enough. What do I do?

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!
