Ufix 2
4/19/2019
I have tried literally everything to get it working and literally nothing is getting it out of write protection. I'm starting to get frustrated to be honest, because I honestly don't know why it's doing this and I can't find a single person that has ever had this problem to the extent that I do.
I've already tried the following methods to get it out of write protection:
*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.' error.
*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.
*Using HDDGuru to do a low level format - I get a bunch of errors like '1/31/2013 9:37:03 PM Format Error occurred at offset 159,318,016: 19 - The media is write protected'.
*Trying to test with H2testw 1.4 - I get 'The media is write protected. Code 19'
*HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3 - I get 'Device Media is write-protected'.
I am trying to fix a 16 GB PNY. The exact model can be found at http://www3.pny.com/category_buymulti.aspx?Category_ID=50
I know it is the flash drive, because I have a 4 GB SanDisk that works fine and has been working fine for years, but I need this one because it has more space. And I've only had it for like two months and already it's messing up on me. -.-
