What is the solution for write-protected pen drive?

Hello.

I using the key USB 8 GB sandisk, but for a few days I can not write or remove something from her, and I couldn't get the option to format my USB. Is there a solution to convert write protected..,?

The missing information, it is if it is a problem for all USB flash drives or simply a pen drive.

If it's for all the readers of the pen, there is a policy that can be set in Windows that prevents writing to all readers.  You can check the setting using the gpedit screen:

Click 'Start'-> type "gpedit.msc" in the engine of search then Ctrl-Shift-Enter

Enter if requested administrator credentials

Once the gpedit window opens, navigate to:

Computer configuration-> administrative templates-> system-> removable storage access

Make sure that none of the lines of "deny write access...". "are enabled.

If it's just for your pen drive...  The pen drives storage area can (and does) go bad over time.  (There is a limit to how many write in Flash technology cycles)  When a bad block is detected by the pen drive, it replaces it with a block of a reserve of spare on the device blocks.  When the reserve block on the device are exhausted, then the camera turns in a write protection mode which is the way you say it's time to save what you can and replace this USB key.

    Hello Mohan,

    ·         You did changes to the computer before the show?

    These errors often occur if there are incorrect BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings.

    Method 1: Check if the computer startup options are changed in the BIOS. You can set the hard drive as the first boot device. In addition, make sure that this option "Wake on LAN" or one similar to it is off.

    Method 2: Load default BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings, and then restart the computer.

     

    Important : Change/update BIOS can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  • MS, what IS the solution for the ERROR CODE of 0 x 80240437?

    Looks to me like PERSON DON'T know what the solution to the problem is YET many people say online the fault lies with the last update from Ms.

    I just got a NEW laptop Gateway (NE56R41u) and it comes with bloatware to/from Windows 8.  The store said I need to 21 updates, yet all say that it cannot load due to this error code.
    So if nobody seems to have a solution, should I just sit and fiddle while Rome burns?  My solution is to delete everything that needs updates for and find one comparable application/software other than comparable MS/MS.  To see all the complaints and problems that have been created by the said error tells me that maybe there is no control of the quality at the top when it comes to release updates or solve the error in a timely customs codes.  Some of us have businesses where these codes are an obstacle, perhaps even bad, but no one knows what to do.
    If there is an answer, of course, I'm going to see/read the solution for it.  I'll even write back and say "Alright, it works now!
    I will say that States out constantly updates without checking and adding more noise to its 'small box only enlarges the problem... ".
    It is MY FIRST point in this place and I am disappointed... later, people!

    method 2 worked for me. Thank you very much! Very grateful!

  • What is the solution for font management recommended for a creative cloud Enterprise Deployment - Design edition (not TypeKit include)?

    We deploy creative cloud on several systems today and this is under the assumption that TypeKit came with all versions. Most of our team has Design edition - no typekit. How do you recommend that manage us fonts? Were using Suitcase Fusion before our upgrade.

    Hi Jill,

    I would like to inform you that Adobe Typekit is an online service that comes with the deployment of user name only. I would say to manage your licenses through Adobe enterprise dashboard that allows the online services for users. Please see the article below for more information.
