When copying files or formatting your USB drive, if your computer says that ‘The disk is write protected‘ or something related to it means that the disk drive is currently has write protection enabled or real-only attribute is set, even you can not delete any files from the USB unless the real-only attribute will not be remove.
As shown in the screenshot below, when I try to format a write protected USB drive, I see the message.
Connect the USB and launch command prompt on your Windows PC as an administrator, type the following command in CMD and press Enter after each one:
Diskpart
List Disk
Select Disk X, where X is the disk number of your USB drive.
Attributes Disk
As you can see in the screenshot given above, if the value of ‘Current Read-only State‘ and ‘Read-only‘ is ‘Yes‘, that means write protection is currently enabled on your USB.
Follow the steps below:
Diskpart
List Disk
Select Disk X, where X is the disk number of your USB drive.
Attributes Disk Set Readonly
Attributes Disk Clear Readonly
No, because it applies only to a computer or a PC that you used to enable the protection. If you connect the USB to another computer, then write protection will no longer work. Some USB manufacturers provide a hardware button or any software that enables write protection for all computers. Please check your USB manufacturer’s website for more information.
