How to Remove Write Protection from USB Drive
Friend's if you try to paste any thing or format your usb drive or pen drive, then it will prompt you that error message (The disk is write protected).
And you can't paste or format your usb drive... So don't wrong i found two very easy way to fix that error message.
Just Follow below mention steps..
Method 1st:
1st Step : Open Command Prompt (As Admin).
2nd Step : Now here execute below mention commands one by one.
Type command 1 : diskpart and then hit enter key to execute the command.
3rd Step : list disk and then hit enter key to execute the command.
4th Step : select disk 2 and then hit enter key to execute the command.
Note : Here "disk 2" is my usb drive, it may be different disk number in your case, So select
your usb drive disk.
5th Step : detail disk and then hit enter key to execute the command.
Here it says "Read-Only = Yes", We just need to make it "NO".
6th Step : attr disk clear readonly and then hit enter key to execute the command.
That's the first method, If still getting the same error message ( The disk is write proteced ) then move to 2nd method.
Method 2nd :
1st Step : Open "RUN", Type "regedit" and then hit "OK".
2nd Step : Expend > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control.
3rd Step : Double click on "StorageDevicePolicies".
Note : If you can't find "StorageDevicePolicies" under "Control" then first create it, Right-click on "Control", Select "New" and then hit "Key".
Named that created "Key" as "StorageDevicePolicies".
4th Step : Select "StorageDevicePolicies", After that right-click on white area, Select "New", click on "DWORD(32-bit) Value" and then named as "WriteProtect".
5th Step : Double-click on "WriteProtect", Set Value Data to "0" and then hit "OK" button to save changes.
That's it... I hope one of the above method will help you out to fix that error message (The disk is write protected).
