How to remove "Write Protected Error From a USB or Memory Card"

Probably these days we a getting write protected error while formatting USB flash drives like pen drives and memory cards. When this error occurs we cannot write or copy any data into our USB drives and even we cannot format these drives. So how to remove write protection error from pen drives or memory cards.

Here are some solutions to this problem.

Solution 1:

You must first unprotect the write protected pen drive to format it. Most USB flash drives contain a small switch around their casing. Carefully examine your dive for that switch and just move the switch to other end. Now connect your pen drive or memory stick to the computer and now you will be able to format the flash drive.

This case is helpful for the USB drives which have a switch, so how to remove a write protection from your USB memory stick if there is no write protection ON or OFF button on stick, then follow the below two solutions.

Solution 2: 

Connect the pen drive or memory stick to computer and check your pen drive’s drive letter, like whether it is E or F. Let us assume E as the dive letter for this solution.

1. Shutdown your PC.

2. Connect the USB flash drive.

3. Start the computer and press “F8” key. 

4. Advanced Boot Options screen will be displayed, Select Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

5. After loading into Safe Mode with Command Prompt, follow the below steps.

6. C:\windows\system32>E: (press enter, here E is our flash drive’s drive letter) 

7. G:\>format F: (press enter) 

8. If it asks (Y/N) then press (Y) and hit enter.

9. Now the formatting starts and removes write protection from USB drive.

Solution 3:

By configuring settings in Windows Registry you can enable or disable write protection of USB flash drives.

1. Go to run, type regedit and press enter. Or just use the short cut ‘Windows + r’ for opening windows registry.

2. Navigate to the below registry key location,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

Note: If “StorageDevicePolicies” does not exist, then you need to create it. Right click on the control, select new>key and create “StorageDevicePolicies”. Then select it and right-click in the right window. Now select New > Dword (32-bit) Value and name it as “WriteProtect”.

3. Double click on WriteProtect and set Value Data to 0 (zero) and press OK. [This will disable the write protection]

4. Now close the registry and restart your pc.

5. Now check you USB drive.
You can enable the write protection again by changing the value from 0 to 1. A value of 0 disables write protection and value 1 enables write protection.

*Note: If none of the above mentioned solutions seems to work with your flash drive then there might be a hardware issue. Try contacting you drives vendor.

Motherboard Cleaning Tips

Motherboard is the main part of your computer that contains all hardware components. Your computer motherboard could fry, if you do not keep it clean on periodically basis. Dust is the main cause to heat up your system and heat link to hardware failure. You can save your computer maintenance cost if you clean your computer on the regular basis. This will improve the cooling and performance of the motherboard components.

• To clean your motherboard first unplugs your system power from the electrical outlet.
• Using the screwdriver remove the side covers of your computer case and put them to one side.
• Check all data and power cables connections. Inspect all motherboard PCI and AGP slots.
• Remove all add-on card of your motherboard for example RAM, modem, VGA, sound card and LAN card.
• Now blow the air around all the motherboard sides and keeping away your blower nozzle 4 to 5 inches away from main board components. You can use vacuum cleaner also for this purpose but compressed air is the better solution to clean a system.
• At the end assemble back all cards, cables and side covers of your system.
• I recommend you doing this after every three months if you want to save your system life.

Getting used to using your keyboard exclusively and leaving your mouse behind will make you much more efficient at performing any task on any Windows system. I use the following keyboard shortcuts every day:

Windows key + R = Run menu

This is usually followed by:
cmd = Command Prompt
iexplore + “web address” = Internet Explorer
compmgmt.msc = Computer Management
dhcpmgmt.msc = DHCP Management
dnsmgmt.msc = DNS Management
services.msc = Services
eventvwr = Event Viewer
dsa.msc = Active Directory Users and Computers
dssite.msc = Active Directory Sites and Services
Windows key + E = Explorer

ALT + Tab = Switch between windows

ALT, Space, X = Maximize window

CTRL + Shift + Esc = Task Manager

Windows key + Break = System properties

Windows key + F = Search

Windows key + D = Hide/Display all windows

CTRL + C = copy

CTRL + X = cut

CTRL + V = paste

Also don’t forget about the “Right-click” key next to the right Windows key on your keyboard. Using the arrows and that key can get just about anything done once you’ve opened up any program.
