Hours and hours screwing with this problem. Web sites, how to's and everyone with "solutions" that never even came close to working. Going through the registry and the deepest bowels of the operating system.
And all I needed was a 3 minute video to fix it.
YOU DA

Thanks a lot. Worked like a Charm, i just bought a Lacie rugged mini and it was write protected, the toolkit software from Lacie didn't had any unlock options and technical support never answered. You just made my day.

Greetings from Mexico.

Thanks for this! I have not had to deal with this before. My brand new disk was write protected before initialization... that is the first time I have seen that. This worked perfectly for me.
