    SCANDISK ULTRA usb 3.0 -Disk Write protected issue


    Unable to format my pen drive : . Getting an error - The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.


    Tried below steps but issue still persist,


    1. No option to un-lock in my physical pen drive

    2. Tried Write Protection from Device using CMD , i.e.,

    diskpart

    list disk

    select disk #

    attributes disk clear readonly

    3. formatted using thirdparty tool - EaseUS Tools

    4.Changed the write protected option from registry - Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

    5. No read only option, General tab, uncheck "Read Only", click "Apply" and "OK"

    6. Tried another third party software - EaseUS Partition Master

    7. used Rufus tool

    8. updated the drivers from Device manager

    9. Checked in safe mode.


    Any help please?

    :)

    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!
