In this video I want to imagine what can be done if the USB flash drive, memory card, external hard drive or hard disk partition is write-protected.
Consider unlocking a flash drive using the command line. To solve the problem on the Windows desktop, using the Win + R key combination, in the window that appears, enter “cmd”. In the window that appears, I enter the Diskpart command and press Enter. In the new Diskpart utility window, I enter list disk to view the available disks in the system. From the list below, using the select disk command, I select “disk 4” accordingly. Having entered the attributes disk, let us first see what attributes are set on the storage medium. The result shows the current status of “Read Only”. We use the attributes disk clear readonly command, thereby disabling the flash drive restriction, and you can copy-delete-modify files on it.
If during the creation or copying of files on the device a message is displayed: “You need permission to perform this operation”, and when you try to format it, a message is displayed: “You do not have sufficient authority to perform this operation”, then you can solve the problem by removing the write protection of the device in the Windows Local Group Policy Editor. By calling the Run window on the desktop and entering the gpedit.msc command, the Local Group Policy Editor opens. It is necessary to go to the section "Computer Configuration" - "Administrative Templates" - "System" - "Access to removable storage devices." You can see that in this case the write ban is turned on. You can disconnect by clicking on this item and selecting “Not set” or “Disabled” in the window that opens, then apply and click OK. Now I’ll check by trying to make changes to the USB flash drive by creating a file. As a result, everything works great.
In the third option, we consider the removal of write protection on a USB flash drive using the Windows registry. To do this, in the "Run" window, enter regedit, and then press Enter. In the opened window of the registry editor, you need to follow the following path, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control, where you need to find the StorageDevicePolicies section. If this section is present, as here, then select the parameter with the name WriteProtect and, double-clicking on it, in the field "Value" enter zero. After that, save the changes, remove the USB flash drive and install it back. After which it remains to check. If there is no such section in the registry, you can try to create it and set the appropriate value for WriteProtect. Preliminarily recommend checking 2 sections:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows \ RemovableStorageDevices \
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows \ RemovableStorageDevices \
The next option, which is mainly characteristic for memory cards and to a lesser extent for flash drives and external drives. Namely, this is the presence of a switch on the storage medium, which allows in one mode to lock the device from recording, and in another - to allow recording.
