• Help remove (ReadyBoost) USB drive write protection

  A customer used ReadyBoost, a couple of days on his USB drive, but never turned off when he did. The player is now known as write-protected, and I am unable to disable ReadyBoost on his computer, or any other.

  I also tried to format, diskpart and some linux partitioning tools.

  The drive has a single file named Readyboost.sfcache on it.

  I'm not ready to tell the customer that he can thow away its 4 GB USB drive, so what I could do?

  I know, it seems obvious, but just wanted to check. I'm guessing that you have already tried to remove the cache file as well?

  ReadyBoost is now included in the SuperFetch (SysMain) service, rather than having one of it's own. SuperFetch is usually disabled by default on computers with hard drives SSD. You can check this, or toggle control you want ReadyBoost to other flash drives.
  Some readers also have cursor over them and write protect the disk. Another obvious, but just in case.

• How can I remove a USB write protection

  my USB is write-protected how to remove it?

  Hello

  What operating system do you use?

  Write protection is a feature found on many different types of media. When the write protection is turned on, you will be able to view the information on the disc or USB key, but you won't be able to write or transfer information to it.

  Write protection is an element of protection which prevents accidental deletion of important data. Sometimes turning off the write protection is as simple as uncapping the USB key to find a manual switch. If your player lacks an external switch, the procedure requires a few steps to complete.

  (a) turn on your computer and plug the drive after that your operating system is loaded.

  (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.

  (d) visit the website of the company for your USB key. Go to the help or support section and search for "write protect".

  (e) search the Internet for software that will remove the write protection. Download the program and install it on your computer.

  (f) open the software. Follow the instructions to remove your USB write protection.

  I hope this helps.

• Do write protect my USB on other computers

  Hello

  Hope that you are well.

  I want to make a usb drive write protected, I found this as a solution:
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies]
  "WriteProtect" = DWORD: 00000001

  But it has drawbacks for me:

  It does not work on another computer.

  I want to make USB write protect my computer and when I use my USB on another computer or my friend bring this USB and use it on his computer, then it should be write protect automatically.

  I'm working on Windows 7.

  Hello

  If the individual USB came not with the top software to enable write protection, then it is not possible to do so, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the USB equipment to see if they have available to install software that enables this feature.

• 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.

• 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...

  Hello!

  Get help from hp support.

  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.

  I went back to my dealer and proceeded to an Exchange. The dealer was not surprised: according to him, large USB Flash Drives seems to be subject to this kind of malfunction.

  I hope to be luckier with the new!
