    The disk is write protected, while trying to format SD card


    HI,


    I tried to format SD card and received a "write protected "message . After that i searched for online solution like:

    I have edited my registry to remove write protection.


    I have gone through command prompt and diskpart to attempt to format It goes upto stage of clear read only when clean command is written it say error occured look at sytem event viewer.


    Hope some body has got some solution to fix this error on my laptop.
    Kind regards

  2. I can't format My micro SD card on Win10 yet I can read it's contents, error card is write protected please release the write-protect

    Hi Hussein,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft community.

    We understand the inconvenience caused and we will try our best to resolve the issue.

    This issue might occur if write protected is enabled in the SD card.

    I suggest you to remove the write protected from the SD card and then try formatting the SD card.



    Follow the below steps:

    1) Press Windows key + x and select Command Prompt (Admin).

    2) Type the below commands.

    Diskpart - Hit Enter.

    list disk - Hit Enter.

    select disk # (# is the number of USB drive with which you’re getting error and is plugged in) – Hit Enter.

    attributes disk clear readonly – Hit Enter.



    3) Exit command prompt.

    Note: Hit Enter, after every command.



    Now try formatting the SD card and check if it helps.

    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

    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!

  4. The disk is write protected, while trying to format SD card

    Write Protected SD

    Hi Fred,

    Write-protected SD card disables some functions in the SD card like installing new data, delete data or move data. We suggest checking if there is a small physical switch located on your SD to disable the write-protect. Also, you may try removing the write
    protection thru the Properties of the drive. Open File Explorer > Right-click the SD card > Properties > Remove write-protection.

    If the if two suggestion we provided didn't resolve the issue, we recommend contacting the manufacturer of the SD card for additional assistance on formatting your SD card.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.
