How to Fix Write Protected Error...

What is Write Protected error and why it happens?

In the Write Protected error, we can not write or copy any data in to flash/USB drives and even can not format it.
There are many reasons that causes this problem. Here I give share the solution to fix that problem.

Solutions: 

  • Just download this helpful software from here and run it to execute a “low-level format” on the drive. This software is quite handy and may take few attempts to actually remove the error.
  • If that low level format tool does not work, try another one Link.
  • The problem can also be caused by some virus activity so just get it scanned by some updated good anti virus which may solve your problem.
  • BUT if none of the methods listed above solves your problem then your pen drive might have gone corrupted, so just get it replaced.
  • After the low level format, you may need to “Partition the drive“. Dont worry, partitioning a pen drive means allocating it its File System and Cluster Size that was lost after the Low Level Format.

Solution 1 :

  • Run diskmgmt.msc in Run.
  • In the disk management window, select the pen drive, right click on it and click on Format.

Solution 2:

  • Follow the steps in this post and just put the value 0 (zero) in step 5.

Hope any of the methods listed above solves your problem.
