Sometimes we get an error when we try to copy or write some data on a USB Drive or a memory card. This is because the pen drive may be write protected. Many reasons can cause this problem and hence many solutions.
1. First
of all try to locate a small switch (if any, that you may have
not noticed) at some place on the drive or memory card reader. This is the
prime reason for this error. If there is one, switch it to the
other side to turn the protection off.
2. The problem can also be caused by some virus
activity so just get it scanned by some updated good
antivirus which may solve your problem.
3. Download HDD Low Level Format Tool
4.25 and run it to execute a “low-level
format”on the drive. This may take few attempts to
actually remove the error.
After the low level format, you may need to “Partition the
drive“. Dont worry, partitioning a pen drive meansallocating it
its File System and Cluster Size that was
lost after the Low Level Format.
For that :
·
Run diskmgmt.msc in Run (win
+r).
·
In
the disk management window, select the pen drive, right click on
it and click on Format.
·
Now
choose the File System and Allocation Unit Size and do
not check the boxes below.
·
Click OK and
the drive will be reusable after this.
4. It may have been deliberately write protected by the
earlier post How to write protect your pen drive.
So follow the steps to step 5 in this post and
change the value to 0 and its done.
[Note : If none of the methods listed above solves your problem then your pen drive might have gone corrupted, so just get it replaced]...
