USB Flash Drive 16 GB protected v210w against writing YET

Good evening

Yet once, my 16 GB v210w to is write-protected.

Same problem with respect to the lisbon_lion67 and soma8914.

The problem appeared after I formatted FAT32 on my Mac.

I tried to format it on XP with many USB disk utilities, but always sector is supposed to be = 0 and an error is triggered.

Is this Mac compatible flash drive?

How to change? My dealer made a change, but its policy does not change the 2nd.

Best regards

  • You are looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, USB flash drive password protection

    Hello everyone,

    I scoured the Internet looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, method of Word to PASS-PROTECT my flash drives TOGETHER.  I don't mean something that protects just individual files & folders (such as MS Word, Excel & can do).  Or I'm looking for a program that involves having to read page after page of instructions on how to ENCRYPT the drive.  ENCRYPTION is a topic that is really beyond my ability to understand.  I'm sorry.

    Programs like Truecrypt, Axcrypt, etc. are simply much too complicated for me to understand... a lot less!

    My question: are there flash drives available (size 8-16 GB preferably) who have a means of securing the disk with a password?

    The USB key remains in my USB port at ALL times!  I have no other computers here and live alone, so that no one else could access the flash player (or computer).  Otherwise, I would be willing to consider a VERY SIMPLE, EASY to UNDERSTAND AND USE application, either free or something that does not cost me dearly.  (I subsist on a limited monthly disability income).

    Thank you for your time and any recommendations!

    It seems that the solution for you would be to purchase a secure Flash drive.   Security is built-in and it asks for your password when you insert your disc into the computer.   Can't get much simpler than that.  They are a little more expensive, but you pay more for practical reasons.   See the following article:
    'USB Flash Drive Security '.
       <>http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive_security >
    To find one, just Google for "Secure USB flash drive", there are a lot of them out there.

    If you have a non-secure flash drive and do not want to replace, then your easiest option would be a program like Truecrypt which you already have reduced as being too complicated.  Don't let the word"encryption" you scared - it all comes down to "enter a password to access".»  Once established, however, it is almost as simple as only to enter a password so if you can find a computer or a local high school computer nerd literate member of the family who would volunteer to set up for you, then it wouldn't be that hard.

  • Identified as write protected USB flash drive

    USB flash drive, identified as write protected, trying to create the boot USB back disk.

    Hi Mel,

    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.

    To remove the write Protection, try these suggestions.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if the problem persists.

    a. open 'My computer'.

    b. right-click on the USB key and select 'Properties'.

    c. uncheck the 'read-only' if it is enabled.

    Note: Click Yes when the option appears saying 'apply changes to subfolders and files writable in this folder '.

    d. click on 'apply' and 'Ok '.

    e. try to delete the files.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest trying the steps and check if that helps.

    a. open the Start menu and in the search bar type regedit and press enter. The Registry Editor opens.

    b. navigate to the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

    Note: If the StorageDevicePolicies registry key does not exist, you must create it manually.
    c. highlight the Strategies of storage devicesand then create a new DWORD called (32-bit) as write protect.

    d. Double click on the key recording in the right window and set the value to 0 in the value data box , and then press the OK button.

    e. restart the computer and try formatting USB key.

    Important: This 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.

    1 attention: If you are thus: SanDiskSecureAccessV2_win.exe, go Tools/Folder Options/tab/view/and check the box: Hide file extensions, moreover, you notice, which are also branded the choice: Hide protected files and do not show the hidden files and folders.

    2-     Then, you install the program, password, etc.. And you will have two files:
    2.1-  SanDiskSecureAccessV2_win, (the application).
    2.2-  SanDiskSecureAccess arch, (which is the folder that contains the encrypted files).
    2.3-  If you lose or delete to SanDiskSecureAccessV2_win (2.1), there is no problem, as download others and ready.

    2.7-  If you can move, too, demand (2.1), an entire folder.
    2.8- You can not move the folder/Vault (2.2). you should leave it to the root of the USB drive, because that is where the course 'find' the application (2.1).

    2.9-  There is an option (in the My Vault toolbar), which generates a backup (for SandiskSecureAccess Vault), on your PC.

  • USB flash drive will not format

    Dane Elec 16 GB USB drive flah.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Have you tried to format your USB key, but instead to use NTFS you use FAT 32?

    Click on windows start orb
    type cmd and do a right click and select run as administrator
    type diskpart
    disc type list
    Select the drive that is your USB. For example, if your USB is no disc select 2 then type 2
    clean type
    type create partition primary
    Type format fs = fat32 quick
    Type exit

    Now see if it finally formatted your USB Flash drive

  • How to use a blank disc DVD-R as a USB flash drive?

    Hi all! I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro and I was wondering how I could use a blank DVD-R disc as a form of rewriting for documents, music, spreadsheets, etc. ? My mac Let's burn me to the disc, but I can't rewrite to it after that. Help, please!

    They don't work that way. Rewritable means simply you can erase the disc and use it again. You can't write it during normal use of the disk. This, to a USB flash drive.

    To be same rewritable, you can use a DVD - RW, DVD - r not it is not rewritable. You can look for third-party software that allow you to use the drive as a flash drive, but I am not sure that these programs exist. Not much need for it.

  • USB Flash drive problems

    I have a USB key that does not work. It's a drive 8 GB flash USB 3.0 which has been formatted and works on my Macbook Pro. The problem comes when I try to use it on a Windows device.

    When I format it under OSX Extended it appears under Windows but is empty.

    When I format it in FAT, under Windows it says that the device must be formatted first

    Either way, when I go to format the device on Windows it says that is only 200 MB space

    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you want to use a USB flash drive on the cross-platform (Win, Linux, OSX) computers you have the next chance:

    -MS-DOS (FAT) format:

    If you want to start the drive on a PC or use it with older versions of Windows, you may also need to set the partition to the Master Boot Record (MBR) for full compatibility Windows scheme:

    • Click the drive, and then select the tab "partition".
    • In the "Layout of the score" dropdown, select "1 Partition".
    • Click on 'Options' and choose "Master Boot Record" as the type of partition, then click 'OK' and 'apply '.

    Format discs very quickly, although the total time required will depend on the size of the drive.

    The file system resulting is compatible with all versions of Mac OS X, Windows 95, 98, Windows XP, Vista, 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, is one of the most widely recognized and usable file system formats. What makes FAT ideal of the file system to use for external hard drives or USB flash drives that are designed for use in environments with multiple operating systems.

    ATTENTION! The main drawback to the use of FAT32 is the file size limit, which limits the files on the drive to be 4 GB in size or less. If you need single files to be larger than 4 GB, use exFAT, even if you lose compatibility with older versions of OS X and Windows.

    -Format in NTFS and use a program like Paragon NTFS on your Mac ($ 15/20).
