To start, I have already visited these two links:
Why is my USB Flash Drive Now Read-Only?
Why did my flash drive become "read only" and (how) can I fix it?
and practically followed everything except the alcor software since my flashdrive isn't alcor but none worked.
I've already tried the following.
- Diskpart on CMD
- Regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control - set WriteProtect to 0
- and also the following regedit codes
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\RemovableStorageDevices{53f5630d-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}]
"Deny_Write"=-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\RemovableStorageDevices{53f5630d-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}]
"Deny_Write"=-
- Local Group Policy - set Removable Disks: Deny write access to disabled on both User Level and Machine Level
- Scanned USB with anti-virus software and found no threat
- uninstalled the driver for my usb and allowed windows to update the software and my drive still shows as read only.
- checked properties of usb drive and that security tab i read on one of the solutions isn't there.
- formatting, chkdsk, fdisk, well wasn't even successful in starting the commands since drive is showing as write protected
- downloaded minitool partition and easeus recovery but the drive only shows read only on both tool and won't show any option to format/modify drive.
- Drive has no physical switch for read/write access, i've already tried looking for it on every part of the thumb drive and found none. You may search for the model itself and see if i missed something out.
Please I'm begging you all. Is there any more step I can try to remove that pesky write protect status on my usb drive? None of the above steps worked for me.
I also tried system restore since all the usb i tried to insert on my pc becomes write protected but still of no avail. I haven't did a full reformat yet but before I try that, perhaps there's a fix or more, any of you know that I haven't tried yet.
Please.
