    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!

    ssd m.2 unable to format due to drive is write protected

    Unable to format m-2 type ssd drive

    It's a Samsung PM961 256gb socket m-2 drive. My mobo BIOS sees it, but the Windows 10 storage/disc management tool cannot format it. It sees it initially but is unable to format it either as MBR or GPT. Once it goes past this stage the drive disappears from the "window" view. On reboot, the drive is visible in BIOS though.
    Should I return it or am I missing something?
