1.2 Selbstbau-Schreibschutz am USB-Stick im Test. Mit gestecktem Jumper am ersten Beispiel eines Umbaus (der Schreibschutz ist in diesem Fall dann deaktiviert s. Abb.1 und Abb. 2), konnte ich vom USB-Stick lesen und diesen auch wieder beschreiben. Ohne Jumper, war der Schreibschutz aktiv. Schreibschutz vom USB-Stick entfernen - so klappt's. Sind diese unabdingbar, versuchen Sie sie vorher mit einem Tool wie 'Smart Data Recovery' zu retten.

I found an 8gb USB flash drive that is from Dell. It says Dell Mentor Media on the front and a label on the back that says 'Windows 7 Home Prem For Dell' When I stick it in my comp 2 drives come up, G and H. I was able to format G, but H says 'This disk is write protected' so how can I format it? Googled and found HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Contro l StorageDevicePolicies* Double click the key WriteProtect in the right pane and set the value to 0 In the Value Data Box.

Press OK But I have no StorageDevicePolicies so that's a no go. Anyway to format it without having to download any program?

I have tried everything listed here and the partition is still listed as Read Only or Write Protected - it is different between programs. Still cannot format or remove the partition.

I am running Windows 7 Pro x64 Detailed rundown of what I have tried: First, obviously the Disk Management native to Win7. Then command line format. Tried to remove read-only attributes in command line. Tried HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Tried RegEdit workaround. Tried PartitionGuru Free. I am at a loss.

Thank you for any help. Assume you have done all the steps listed below. I think you did. *Flipping a switch - there is no switch on my flash drive. *Formatting the flash drive - I get the 'The disk is write protected.' Error whenever I try this.

*Checking the flash drive for errors - I get the 'The disk is write protected.' *Going into my flash drives properties and turning off write protection - write protection does not show up under my *flash drives properties.

*Going into regedit, finding my StorageDevicePolicies, and setting WriteProtect to 0 - regedit claims WriteProtect is already set to 0. *cmd prompt: diskpart-> list disk -> select disk 1 -> attributes disk clear readonly - I get the message 'Disk attributes cleared successfully.' However, nothing happens; I still get the error 'The disk is write protected.' Whenever I try to do anything. *cmd prompt: diskpart -> list disk -> select disk 1 -> clean - 'DiskPart has encountered an error: The media is write protected.'

*Using the 'Usb Format.exe' - it can't find my flash drive.

Real tuesday weld last werewolf rar.

Code 19' *HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3 - I get 'Device Media is write-protected'. The link below is the only one I have seen that showed HOW to see if the drive were set to Read Only.

And a tool you have not used. Also the idea that the firmware maybe the culprit and cannot be fixed easily at all. Oh and one last thing I did come across. If it is a major brand Usb stick and not some stick that comes with a computer with the O/S on it then contacting the Usb stick manufacturer can often uncover a special tool for doing the format. But it is usually manufacturer specific. Yes 'Formatter Silicon Power v.3.7.0.0' does the job perfectly.
