To all the people, who were reporting that this doesn't work. Firstly, check for any external switch on your USB drive. Some USB drives have a switch on them, using which you can turn on or off, the write protection. If they don't, then you have to follow the method that I showed you in the Video. I repeat once again, this works only on the computer using which you created the write protection. And here is a reply for all of those who were making mean comments that this is not working. If you can easily remove write protection from any computer as you wish, then where is the security for your USB? I mean, what is the use of locking your USB drive, if anyone can remove the lock soo easily, from their own Computer. Just think. Cheers!

The only person who showed me how to clear the write only on my thumb drive! THANK YOU! AWESOME WORK!

Impressive..very useful and i got my USB usable. Today about 1 hour to get my usb usable but could not even our professional team but by the help of this video i got it...thanx for helpful videos

Your advice regarding using the computer that the write protection was initiated from makes no technical sense that I am aware of. I am however, embarrassed to admit it is correct. Thank you sir. It does however apear that the repaired drive will only work on that one computer. No problem, I still salute you.

yo..boy! Disk attributes cleared successfully but still it doesnt work :(

I needed to clear the write protection off an external hard drive and this worked perfect for me, following step-by-step. Thank you!

Hey, Tech Raj - I just want to say a quick thank you. The write protected video helped me greatly and, most importantly, quickly this morning, as I am dealing with a triple whammy - a flashdrive with access issues, lost files, and all of a sudden WAS write protected. I appreciate your video very much!

Hell Yessss Bro.. It worked for me. Still working in 2021. Good Work!

This worked perfectly for me, first try. THANK YOU!!!! You make it so very simple.

It WORK!!! Yes the DeslikE BUTTON Works!!!

After unpluging and putting back in it didnt work. so I took it out again and started to read some of the comments. After about ten minuets I thought I would try it again. Guess what!!!!!!! IT WORKED. SO THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. 👍😊👍😊👍

thank you so much for sharing this video....I removed write protection on my pendrive with the help of your video

I can't copy files from my flash drive and I also can't copy files to the drive. It says write protected. I tried your method but didn't work. 😭

Thank you very much it helps me. finally i can use my flashdrive again.

Thanks for helping me to create my usb .I tried so many times with other methods and now I'm eventually done with it.

I know this is a very old video just wanted to say thanks this fix my problem

i followed every step you showed but still my write protection hasn't been removed bro

I have problem, i didnt applied write protection, i once plugged in my USB to my pc and it said this, it just started to protect itself by itself

Worked for me, thanks. The funny thing is that I could copy files to my usb on other computers just fine. Computers sometimes weird the hell out of me.

Fantastic guidelines. My USB pendrive which was not working for many months is working . Thank you very much

What to do when it says failed to attributes an my drive still not working

Thank you so much. I have watched many tutorials on this topic and this is the first time a tutorial starting with what seems an obvious statement but I had never thought about it.

Thank you for solving my problem.

I have purchased NEW SanDisk Ultra Pendrive 32gb USB 3, as soon as I opened the packet and plug the Pendrive into the computer the PENDRIVE is showing WRITE PROTECTED, I am not able to write anything or format it. 1. Tried using DISKPART--------------method failed to remove Write Protection and the current state is READ ONLY. 2.Tried using EaseUS partition Pro-----method failed to remove Write Protection (error Cannot format disk Write protected) 3. Tried the Regedit method to change StorageDevicePolicies-----Failed method, Also I don't have StorageDevicePolicies folder, I have created one and set the value to 0 but nothing worked. 4. Tried UfixII Pny/HP software----------Failed (Device Not found the error) 5. Tried AOMEI Partition Assistant Unlimited Edition 6.5-----Failed (not able to format due to write protection) 6. Tried Restore v3.18.0.0------Failed (Device not found) 7. Tried Win32Disk Imager----Failed method 8. Tried Formatter Silicon Power v3.7-----------Failed (No device found) 9. Tried to Unallocated Space from Disk Manager------But not able to unallocated space(Failed) 10. Tried Formatting through mobile by connecting through OTG cable-----But Failed because of Write Protection Error. 11. Tried BOOTICE software----But Failed (write protection error) So Finally I am giving up, wasted my 4-5hrs time, but no solution found, watched over 15-20 videos on KZfaq, each video contain solution from above methods, especially the DISK PART and Regedit method. *So friends final Notes*:- Don't waste time, If your Pendrive is NEW replace it from the online website you have purchased if it is under warranty Replace it from the service center, Else Time to buy the new one.

hi teja i didn't creat any protect but it show ....... disk is write protected..... and i follow the steps u said ...... and result show as u said....... but it didn't copy anything.... how to do copy?

Guys, If you are dealing with memory cards then ensure to do the following as Tommy Shoemaker said: Just found it: If it is an SD Card make sure the lock is flipped to UP, the grey switch on the left side of it

You actually saved my life (more specifically my student usb) 😂 Thank you. 😊
