I downloaded the EaseUS Partition Master and when I hit Format, I got the message "Unable to perform conversion because the disk is in a read-only state. It didn't work for me. sigh
For anyone who is having trouble.. do as they say and take your time. If you have multiple USBs connected.. do not click disk 2.. click your own. Also if it is still not working, re try and make sure it is the same way they have done it and keep going back if you need to. It was not working for me and I was typing it a little wrong. Works again now :D I never really put a thumbs up, unless it actually works and this does.. Thank you
The solution for me ended up being downloading the "Chromebook Recovery Utility" extension for Chrome (even though I've never used a Chromebook), opening it, clicking the settings button (gear icon) and clicking "Erase recovery media" and selecting my USB. Hope this works for you if you were also stuck!
it's not working with me, every time I try to format my write-protected flash drive using EaseUS Parition a message "The operation is not complete because the media is write-protected" always pops up. How to solve this?
After i follow youre use of the free version of EaseUS Partition Master, i right-click format on the pen drive. it cannot "execute operation", it says 'The operation did not completer because the media is write-protected' please help
It didnt work for me sadly, i followed along though with hopes that it would.. its still write protected, my coworker was copying some files over that I needed and it just randomly became write protected.. i have another flash drive that did the exact same thing and none of this worked for it either
Worked for me, so thanks for the help. To those still having issues with it, you need to unplug the USB once you've completed the steps, then plug it back in. It appeared to still be write protected for me at first, but it just needed to 'reset' so to speak.
Thanks for this but I still can't fixed my flash drive . I can open and still access the files inside my drive the only problem is that when I copy a file from my laptop to transfer it to the drive it won't copy and appear to be write protected. I have tried it several times 😢
@@Tricknology also im having another problem if you may be able to help im tryna to open mediacreation tool on my usb but it wont open i tryna grt windows for my newly built pc
Me too.. but i guess you must go here in reg edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies (CurrentControlSet) not ControlSet001 And name with no spaces like this (StorageDevicePolicies) not (Storage Device Policies) & (WriteProtect) not (Write Protect) This Worked >>>>>>>>
I did everything and nothing happened. The last action with the ease partition master says the operation did not complete because the media is write protected.
ty sir! got a sub, i have 980 in a sleeve, (needed formatted before i could load, not easy like a hdd read...) and then i went to back more music up and sayin write only, this made it go! thank you thank you
bruh i tried EVERYTHING and the EaseUS Partition Master and when i tried to format it, it says "operation did not complete because the media is write protected' tf is this
for these that this didnt work like mine go donwload Multi.Flash.Kit.v.3.9.9 you can fix it with it mine got fixed after using it dont know if it work for other too
This was the only video that helped me fix the problem by differentiating the choice between 64 bit and 32 bit in the Registry Editor. I tried all the options (same as here) in several other videos (who seemed to have copied each other) and it failed because their systems were 32 bit and mine is 64 bit. Thank You! However now I'm scratching my head wondering how my system got write protected in the first place.

@@englishwithnataliaandriy3935 I think it can not be done unless you are the same PC that put the write -protection there in the first place. In my case it was a PC at target where I took my drive to print photos. That PC is apparently gone since I tried putting the USB drive in one that was in the same spot but it didn't fix it. Why can't someone write a universal routine that can quickly fix this problem? They would make a fortune charging a buck for it.
you just saved my life dude thank you SO much not sure why it was showing up as a remote computer in my disk part. It was an old SSD in my ex-wifes computer and it wouldn't let me do it without that tool thank you !!!!
