  • How to add data to a write-protected micro SD memory card

    original title: write protected disk

    my removable disk (f :)) is write-protected, so I can't put music on my micro SD memory card, how do I remove this then I'll be able to transfer my music from my android phone?)

    Use a MicroSD adapter. Hold the adapter and MicroSD card, so that you can read the labels, then insert actual MicroSD card into the adapter. On the adapter, usually towards the top left (opposite), you will see the word 'Lock' with a directional arrow. Press the very small sliding tab in the slot to the left of the card upward to remove the write protection of the adapter which will then remove the write protection on the card that you inserted in. When you're ready to protect your data, simply repeat back and forth the slotfacing downwards.

  • Remove my USB write protection

    Hello

    Today I was transferring a large file to my pen drive which (manufactured is unknown) and in the Middle the procces it says that my USB has the write protection, this is not the first time that I tried to transfer files to the device and before it worked like a charm.

    I tried the normal methods to remove the unit like going in properties, hack rededit method, the method diskstart of the cmd command, the method of formatting, physical locking switch.

    nothing worked, I tried even other pcs and always locked. any ideas?

    Hello
     
    1. is specific to this USB issue special?
    2 have you made any changes to the computer, before the show?
     
    As you have tried different computers and you still face the question, it is quite likely that the USB has some issues and not the operating system.
     
    Method 1:
     
    Run the troubleshooter of material and check.
    Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter
     
    Method 2:
     
    Run a scan to check on the USB drive.
    Check a drive for errors
    Important: While performing a disk check, if it detects bad sectors and trying to fix it, all the data available in this area may be lost.
     
    If the above is not enough, it is better that get you in touch with the store where you bought the USB for assistance related to this topic.
  • Unlock the USB write protected

    Windows 8, there is a 32 GB USB drive more writable after working very well.  Other work of sticks USB OK.  Indication to keep the disk is read-only, and there is no way to physically write protect.  Possibly BitLocker live upwards, perhaps out before you remove the drive safely?  A registry cleaner remove a key by mistake?

    I work with Bitlocker readers every day and I saw that some readers become read just in the middle of copying the files to them. I don't know what is the cause, but I was not able to find all the settings that enable or disable it.

    As a solution, I was able to write to the drive by connecting it to another server. If I connect the same drive on the server it was read only after connection to another server, it is always read-only. Therefore, he must have something on this server which makes the drive read-only. I will search the Web and see if anyone has figured this out.
