HP v220w 16 GB pendrive is write protected

My HP v220w 16 GB pendrive is write protected and I am allowed only to copy him and nothing else, so I tried all possible methods for formatting as ' the registry editor, command, prompt using the disk handle, safe mode, also using OS bootable DVD. I think that I now have 2 options, one for Exchange using the warranty card and the other to try formatting using the free operating system. If someone have solutions for this please answer me...!

Thankx

    (b) open 'My computer' and the list of readers of research until you find your USB drive letter

    (c) right click on the name, then click 'properties '. Browse the tabs until you see the option to remove the write protection. If this does not work, proceed to the next step.

  • USB Thumb Drive (UHYBS-064GH) format/write protection fault

    Hello

    Hoping for help.

    Bought a 64 b USB Thumb Drive (UHYBS-064GH), a private seller, but the point is brand new in packaging.

    When I tried to copy files through him, he maxed out at comments 45Gig and seems to have caused a clerical error. I was able to remove the majority of the cases, however on 5gig of them would not remove (in that they seem to have removed, until you updated).

    To counter this, I tried to "quick format", the drive (using Windows XP SP3), but the disc is write protected and I am unable to remove it.

    Spoke to a friend who told me that I should try a low-level format, which tried & it seemed to work, however when I insert the USB system indicates that the drive is not formatted & I would like to format. When you click Yes, I get the error 'write protected '.

    Was the question of the google machine & even tried to change registry settings, but also failed.

    So I hope someone out there has a solution for me (which does not include a big hammer & some anger management)...?

    Would it be possible that this USB drive is defective?
    In my opinion, you should contact the merchant and must replace it with another.

  • Pen drive write protected

    Please help me to remove this this USB write protect.

    Hi vipsolan,

    Let us know the model # of the Flash DRIVE that you use.

    Insert the USB into the computer, right click and select format. Try changing the file such as NTFS or FAT format and verify if works.

  • How can I write protect a USB

    I have an external USB formatted drive for Max OX extended (journaled). He has a backup of my music collection so I want to write protect it so that it can be READ and not deleted or all files deletion. How this is possible - running an iMac and El Capitan.

    I've tried right-clicking on the drive and the subfolders in the Finder and by changing the attributes of read/write READ ONLY for me and all the world, but I can always delete individual files.

    Thank you.

    You must disable the attribute "Ignore permissions" on the external hard drive. Just do a Get Info (command I) command on the volume desired in a Finder window and then downstairs there is a checkbox Check titled "Ignore permissions on this volume" - uncheck the box so that the ownership rules are now used for its content, then the privileges you set for those who can read and write should be respected.

    Note that this applies only to external volumes that I think - the internal disk volumes does not have this checkbox "Ignore permissions" is checked.

    Good luck...

    The technician suggested I make a test disc with http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.htmlformat.

    He failed and prompted the 'Protected disc' message, so my USB Flash drive was considered dead.

  • HPE-470f built in SD card reader reads the cards as write protected

    WIN 7 Professional 64 bit, SP 1 and all the updates, latest Bios and drivers installed, HPE-470f

    The SD card reader to work properly.  Put it in any piece now, the camera sees the chip, reports that it needs to be formatted (not true) and when he tries, then says it cannot complete.  Displays the disk disk management is write protected.  I suspect the internal switch inside the drive is blocked or broken.

    have you tried: blowing the dust out of the drive, spray of contact cleaner in the device, try several chips (all of which work well in my cameras before and after trying in the HP drive.)

    Any suggestions?

    Apart from the drive of cleaning dust and spray contact cleaner in the drive, I have:

    1 uninstalled all USB devices in Device Manager and forced the system to reinstall everything.

    2 uninstall the drive itself in the Device Manager and forced the system to reinstall.

    3 tried several cards in the reader with similar results: the system sees the card, says it has to be formatted (it was already formatted in the camera).  Formatting attempts get an error that it cannot be completed.

    4. the program of HP, but it can not format the card to be downloaded.  Reports "unable to format the device.

    I've always used player soft and methods of ejecting device to remove cards.  I think that it is a loss with a broken read/write switch.  It's too hard getting the subassembly of legacy of the case card reader.  It takes almost a complete disassembly of the machine to get out.

    Thanks for trying to help.

  • How to remove the floppy write protection

    How can I remove write Protection from a disk 1.3 MB

    Sometimes the switch 'cursor' on diskettes 3,5 "bit was removed (to create the disk read-only permanently). If this is the case, then just put a piece of opaque tape over the 'hole' (where the slider switch was)... and you'll be able to write to the diskette.

    If you hold the diskette if you are looking at the rear, the slider switch (or a hole where was the slide switch) is at the bottom RIGHT.

    Please note that the 3.5-inch disks came in various capacities (the two most common are 720 KB and 1.44 MB. If you hold the diskette, then you're looking at the back, then there will be a hole on the bottom LEFT, which is used to indicate the command what is the capacity of the disk. If my memory is good, there will be a hole in the bottom LEFT (when you see the back of the disc), for drives with capacity of 1.44 MB, and if no hole is on bottom LEFT, then the floppy drive is 720 KB.

    My point... If you need to put a piece of opaque tape over the hole where the playback cursor / writing has been (to make writable disk), don't forget to put tape over the hole at the bottom RIGHT (looking at the BACK of the disc... and 'back', I mean the side without label and where can be seen the axis of the disc).
