Thank you for this! The last way of reformatting without downloading software worked as my USB was stuck with write protection.

Hey mate your a Effing Genius man been struggling with my 1tb hard drive and i used the cmd prompt followed your steps now I have full access to it again! Thanks alot brother

[pengai]

Thank you, deleting all partitions and creating a new one works for me.

[EasyJr]

Thank you sir! Your video helped me. I’ve been trying to remove the write protection for over a month. I was able to get it done with the miniTool option. Finally😅

[maggieb]

I downloaded the mini tool but my pendrive it still showing up as read only. I am confused on how to fix it, since it won't give me the option to delete the partition.

I get this from the command prompt:
DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
See the System Event Log for more information.

Great video! Have a Samsung 64 g USB with Linux OS bootable that only used 2 gigs.
I used redit to delete the file, then cmd diskpart to clean and complete format now I'm using the drive as a recovery drive.

Thank you.

You're a life saver sir! the first method worked for me! <3

[brainiac_brian]

[mikenapole]

Mini Tool worked for me! many thanks for this video mate!!

[smodiddley]

wow thank you so much for this video! the very lest steps to format via command prompt was the only thing that worked for me. i was fearful i wasn't going to be able to get around the write-only protection prompt, but thanks so much!!!

[monikamartin]

I tried everything you mentioned, but in diskpart, I got the following message:

"DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
See the System Event Log for more information."

I don't know how this got set to write-only in the first place. Very upset about this.
