| I had this problem with an old 64MB jump drive. I did some hunting around on HWA as well as Googling other forums. The general agreement seemed to be that the drive was simply dead. I tried changing all the permissions, attrib in CMD, and even logging into Linux as "root" (the equivilent of Microsoft's "Administrator") to no avail. I was able to back the files up to another drive, and they regained their permission settings, but from what I read, the drive was simply dead. | 15 ahp, on Feb 17, 2009 10:45:57 am GMTI want to format my pen drive but it show me message that write protected so how can i remove write protection in my pen drive | 20 Dharam, on Mar 7, 2009 7:27:17 am GMTHow can i remove write protected in kingstone 2GB pen drive | 22 hiren, on Mar 8, 2009 10:04:40 am GMTHow to remove write protecton in my pendrive | 39 sathishtvg, on Apr 11, 2009 4:05:01 pm BSTHow to crack usb write protection software? please answer | 59 Govind, on Jun 17, 2009 11:11:57 am BSTHow to remove write protecton in my pendrive |

| 44 jegan, on Apr 28, 2009 2:24:54 pm BSTDear folks,,
here is the solution to remove write protection in pendrive due to virus. please do the following steps
start - run -regedit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\storatedevicepolicies
in right side u will be getting writeprotect option, just right click that and modify the value from 1 to 0
it will work definetly ...................
thanks for your valuable feedback....
by jegan | 45 Jeff, on Apr 28, 2009 2:54:49 pm BSTHi, when I follow your suggested approach, I do not get the "storagedevicepolicies". I only get "storage" under the control tab. Is there a way to add this particular tab to my system. I run a Window Vista HP desktop.
Thanks for any advice you may give me.
Jeff | 46 jegan, on Apr 28, 2009 5:54:17 pm BSTHai jeff,,

thanks
jegan | 75 Dmode, on Aug 4, 2009 9:33:22 am BSTDear jegan
Your advice is prefect actually the problem has nothing with the devices but windows problem occur. I tried everything under safe modes, special software and so on/ even bought a new flash memory and just from first time it display that the new devices is write protected /again same problem/. So the solution is run - > regedit ->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CONTROL -> StorageDevicePolicies ->WriteProtect /double click and change value from 1 to 0/. After this operation no problem /and previous flash still working :)/. Thanks again. |

| 58 PJ, on Jun 14, 2009 2:06:32 am BSTI just want to say THANK YOU,
I have a Seagate FreeAgenk Desk external drive and could not get it to format because of the Write-Protect error. I called Seagate and they could not help me and told met that with Windows XP Home I was unable to access administrator rights to remove the Write-Protect error.
I found this site and used your suggestion, my external drive is currently formating.
I want to tell Seagate to take notice of sites like this and people like you.
Eveyone try it, it worked. just don't forget to Format your drive when you are done. |
