  What format you use is determined by the computer that you will use to read the information that is recorded.

• Flashdrive USB 3.0 write protection error?

  Good, then, one a few months ago I bought a new flash drive, a flashdrive Lexar 3.0 with 32 GBs. yesterday, I was copying a file to my flash drive, then he stopped at halfway with an error message. The error message:
  

  I started to get a little scared, so, as usual, I looked online for help. Apparently, other people have had the same problem. I tried all methods I thought to use the command prompt to change the Windows registry. Yet, none of them worked again! My last choice was to format the flash drive. Then, I started trying to format it. Then, a familiar message box popped up: "the disk is write protected". (As seen above). I was confused; Why my flashdrive write protected? I looked everywhere for some kind of help. I couldn't find anything.

  Other notes:
  -L' error does not come from my PC. I tried to use my sister's cell phone to get in shape, and he gave me the same error message.
  -My flash drive is not a write protection option. (It could, but I could not be aware of it).
  -J' tried various other programs to try to format.
  -There is no virus on my PC or a flash drive.
  -There are about 20 GB on the flash drive, so it is not complete.

  -J' already tried using the registry.

  I hope someone can help me, because I really don't want not to waste my money on another flash drive that will just give me the same error.

  Thank you once again!

  What follows is the best source of info that I found for USB thumbdrive problems:

  <>http://www.Uwe-Sieber.de/usbtrouble_e.html >

  USB stick seems to be write-protected:

  1.
  Check if the USB has a little swich for write protection.

  2.
  Windows can write protect USB drives too. Check out the registry under
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies.
  The value 'WriteProtect' should be absent or set to '0'.

  3.
  Flash memory has a limited lifetime of about 100000 guaranteed write cycles. Most flash life much longer cells, but the cells that become defective must be replaced by reserve cells (defective block management). The flash controller handles this in the background. When all reserve cells are consumed, then the flash controller refuses all the write access. Then you can read your data and put the unit to recycling.
  This can happen even the drive was never even almost completely filled because the flash controller spread access write on all physical blocks to make sure that all cells are worn (wear levelling) equally.
  Unfortunately, USB flash drives have no standard mechanism to read their current state of health, as in hard disks. Therefore, always expect a USB flash drive to die at any time...

• Try to reformat the drive - disk is write protected

  Hello

  I'm trying to reformat an audio CD. Is this possible? When I go to my computer, select the D: drive, and then click format, the format window opens. When I click Start, it says that the disk is write protected. Is there a way to change this? I can burn DVDs and CDs without problem, as well as read them.

  I am running Windows Home Premium 64-bit with a read/write DVD super multi drive.

  OEM is the entry door. I've updated all my drivers, scanned my system for viruses using Norton Internet Security, also conducted an analysis of rootkit the gum power of Norton. Nothing found. SFC has not found any problem.

  Could someone please help me with this?

  Thank you!

  # You can not format/re-use any CD/DVD other rewritable those once the session is closed - and with an audio CD you can play in a CD player - it is closed, no doubt.

• In ultimate windows 7, when I want to paste or create a file on USB, windows says: the disk is write protected. ?

  in Window 7 Ultimate. When I want to create a file or paste a file copied to a USB port or flash memory, windows cannot perform this action and the message: the disk is write protected.but when I used the same USB Win XP, disc is OK and not write-protected.
  I tried this question on several USB key, but the result was the same.
  anydody can help me?

  Hi Saleh2506,

  You can try and remove the disc, remove the write protection (by reversing a tab on the disk), and then try again.

  If you do not have the valve on the USB, try the following steps to resolve the problem:

  1. Click Start , type regedit.exe and press ENTER.

  2. navigate to the following location:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrrentControlSet\Control

   

  3. control with the right mouse button and select new and key.

  4. call it as StorageDevicePolicies.

  5. click on StorageDevicePolicies and on the right pan right click and select new > DWORD and name it as WriteProtect.

  6 double-click it and set its value to 0.

  This will disable the write protection on USB/flash drives.

  Restart your computer and check to see if that fixes the problem.

  Important The above section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• SanDisk Mobile Ultra 64 GB write protection error

  I bought this card 4 to 6 months ago. It has worked great since last week-two when I started having problems with listening music etc (sometimes he stop or change the music in the middle of the track). I first thought that his problem with Android and I need to reflash it or maybe that the headphones are broken, but when I reflash Android I always format microsd and here's my problem - I can't do it!

  GParted on ubuntu gives me error with the substitution of partition (something like "this partition exists") and after updating, everything is as if it was earlier.

  On windows, I tried sdformatter (write protection error), easeus (near gparted) and windows tool (it is said that "the device can not be format").

  Now I don't know what to do. I want to "fix" myself, but maybe its totally broken.

  Any advice? Can I do something to make it useful?

  Thank you

  Both pis, man. There is no way to correct the error of write protection. You can call SanDisk to get a replacement.

  The arised problem after installation of the 'symantec system works' and try to restart windows XP Professional to make the installed executable program.

  Hello

  Seems that there are problems with the files of GoBack.

  Try to boot in safe mode and remove the Norton System works from your laptop ;)
  If this does not help, you will need to recover the laptop with the recovery CD Toshiba delivered!

  Also I recommend to visit the Symantec support site and to check the solutions to the problem with the Norton System Works programs

• Recovery USB key comes with write protection error when starting at the beginning of recovery

  I just got my key USB recovery flash in the mail from HP.  I have an ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad and I had accidentally wiped the OS off the coast of the SSHD.  I go into the BIOS, change the boot order, even tried disabling and enabling legacy mode secure boot and I get the same error once I have tell the laptop to boot with the USB key.  He comes up with an error cscript.exe and says that it is impossible to write in the C: disk because it is write protected.  I can cancel, try again or continue, but the laptop stops just after these buttons.

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  Ryan

  I had set up the SSHD acceleration and 24 GB cache in a RAID0 configuration, as if it was before I wiped the OS.  Apparently, which caused the error, because recovery what USB works fine once I reset both drives non-RAID configurations.  I'll be able to put back them in a RAID0 once the OS is installed?

• I have a micro cell phone memory card, I'm trying to delete files MPG and it says that the disk is write-protected, how can I disable this?

  I have a micro card.  I used to put photo files.  Today I'm trying to remove them and I get a message that the card is write protected.  How can I disable this?

  I guess you put the micro card in full-size SD card reader? Look on the side of the SD card. There is a small switch that is write protected. Put it to the other position.
