Stoopid usb. Going to try formatting with a tv or something stupid. Thats how I got a single 1TB FAT 32 partition on my pocket HDD's. Now if only I could remember how to find the format usb option on my tv... I think it may involve plugging the ant in and trying to record something.
Probably the simple way, but I like fixing stuff ok. Also this video is a bit bogus as its the regedit of the computer, so it changes the write protect of any usb's plugged into that machine in future as well. I didn't have storage device policy's because that type of write protect has never been used on my machine forbore. I ended up adding a new key and Dword, didn't help one bit. But I do know how to disable a system from being able to write to usb now >:) Can't wait for the family reunion this year :)
If you can’t find the key StorageDevicePolicies in you have to create it manually. 1. Right-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrrentControlSet\Control\ and select New -> Key. 2. Enter the name StorageDevicePolicies. 3. Click on the new registry key StorageDevicePolicies and on the right pan right-click, select New > DWORD and give it the name WriteProtect. 4. Double click on it and set its value to 0.
Yep already did that. It stopped all flash drives from writing. Long story short. if you dont have storage device policies, it cant be affecting the flash stick. Creating new policies just adds more complexity to the problem. Still looking for a solution. I hear a PS3 or set top box may be dumb enough to format it without noticing its write protected. The advice in this video is not very good, and wont help 90% of people with this problem. If you do have storage device policies issues, it will prevent ALL flash drives from writing on that machine only. So realy all its good for is practical jokes.
I swear. I lost a few drives and thrown them away because of this. I thought I render them useless. This issue has given me fits. Glad I found this. Thanks!
Click start then run regedit go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\ if you can't find StorageDevicePolicies under control folder then make some new one. Follow this steps: step 1: go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\ again and right click control folder step 2: select new, then click key and rename the new key #1 folder into StorageDevicePolicies step 3: right click StorageDevicePolicies folder and select new DWORD(32-bit) Value for 32-bit Operating System and select new DWORD(64-bit) Value for 64-bit Operating System step 4: rename dword newer folder into WriteProtect, then double click WriteProtect and change the value data into 0 with hexadecimal base, Then close regedit step 5: open my computer and refresh it 5 times without do anything to your usb, and properly eject your flash drive step 6: plug in your usb again into your computer and format it using exfat instead of fat32
for everyone who doesn't have the reg-edit directory, Follow these instructions as noted by Sanzay Thapa, you need to make that String value, i was able to change it to zero then format it, it worked once that directory is made. 50% thank you goes to Sanzay Thapa and the rest goes to Britec09 for the video on how to do it when you have that folder. "u have to make StorageDevicePolicies key if u don't have any goto control>New key>StorageDevicePolicies>new Dword"
hi when try to format it says write protected but when I go to registry option it is all ready showing 0. also tried CMD way diskpart list disk select disk attributes disk attributes disk clear readonly but doesn't work . If any other way please me ... thankx
Thanks for the fix , on W 10 you will need to go into storage management you may not see Storage Device Properties , then connected subsystems , then CacheEnabled REG_DWORD change the 1 to a 0 .
Thank you so much for this I kept having issue with my external hard drives from western digital not backing up anymore and diskpart clear attributes would not work. thank you for the video I have since subscribed to your videos
Thanks for the video. My USB flash drive doesn't have a physical lock. Followed the steps above exactly and this didn't work. Any other suggestions please?
u3known Click start then run regedit go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\ if you can't find StorageDevicePolicies under control folder then make some new one. Follow this steps: step 1: go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\ again and right click control folder step 2: select new, then click key and rename the new key #1 folder into StorageDevicePolicies step 3: right click StorageDevicePolicies folder and select new DWORD(32-bit) Value for 32-bit Operating System and select new DWORD(64-bit) Value for 64-bit Operating System step 4: rename dword newer folder into WriteProtect, then double click WriteProtect and change the value data into 0 with hexadecimal base, Then close regedit step 5: open my computer and refresh it 5 times without do anything to your usb, and properly eject your flash drive step 6: plug in your usb again into your computer and format it using exfat instead of fat32
ok ok, it has worked for me thank you so much, i thought i was gonna lose a dongle but had to put it in and got it sorted, for the ppl who it didn't work for i suggest you do it in stage..... just so as you don't get lost or to much of a duh brain and feck up trying to do it, thks for the info .
Thanks for the effort... But, everybody on TH-cam offering a solution to this "write protect" thing all give the SAME solution. And I think for the majority of us, it does NOT work. I'm still looking. I've got two partitions on my thumb drive. One is write protected and the other is not. Why is this fix so cryptic?
You are a marvel to us Brian, your tech tips are truly on the button but I have to laugh, my wife too is a cockney. One of her "bruvvas" speaks just like you. His fumdrive (also drive hache) is always having write protection problems. Hahaha. All the best mate.
this option does not work. i cant find storage device policies in my reg edit. if have any other ideas for format a write protected usb then pls upload.
Thanks Brian :-) Dam windows registry, pain in the bum lol. Bring back the physical switch on the usb stick itself, much better than windows blocking. :-)
Thank You for that info after i made that String value, i was able to change it to zero then format it, it worked. you get 50% of you Solved it, the rest of the Thank You goes to Britec09 for the video on how to do it when you have that folder

Guys I have a Question if my flash drive use as bootable USB flash drive it will cause Write Protected Error??? sorry bad english pls pls pls answer me i want to use my flash drive
for all those people who says there is no SDP(StorageDevicePolicies)... in this video, initially this PENDRIVE was not right protected i mean it was made write protected by creating a new key in that very current control set shown in the video.... and after it was made write protected the video was made after that very setup. so its obvious that nobody will find the SDP since nobody has made the pendrive write protected...
Nice video with easy instructions just that it's not of use at all at least not in most cases. I tried this method but the stick still remained write protected. There are other methods like trying with safe mode which btw I didn' try myself ,I somehow doubt it would be of use as well. Have no idea how but like many others one day my usb stick turned out to be write protected. Don't know what have I done nor when or where which is frustrating. Whatever, some guys here advice us to get a new one but I ask what if we got into the same trouble? To get another one? And then another one....really, usb sticks in general seem like products with serial error.

What to do if i dont have in registry STORAGEDEVICEPOLICIES ???
wow i tried everything man thank you a million!!! When i tried to quickformat it worked. and then i was able to add all my music to it. Lol. thanks again
Hi sir can you please help me ... Attributes disk clear readonly command run successfully... This error appear after I type "clean" ("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.") thank you.
Hi there. I tried everything and it still doesn't work... It says that write-protected even if the value is 0 and I have used also programs that unblock write-protection without any result. I have a SD HC 64Gb ... What should I do ? Tx
I don't know what step that i was wrong. Cause there is no StorageDevicePolicies folder, so i create it. Then make WriteProtected file 64x with "0" condition logic in Windows 8.1. It still can't save my sandisk 32GB. :'(
hey do you have any advice on readonly state on a usb flash drive that doesn possess the switch for it also tried disk part (the entire flash drive is raw) a meriad of useless programs that said that they could remove said error and still nothing i can type clraa attributes in diskpart till the cows come home and still have the same issue.......... help !!!!!!!
Thanks Brian, next one we all face is when I want to remove the USB drive and I want to use the safely remove the device option down near the clock and it says you cant cos its still in use.... funny sometimes, some USB's you can remove no problems and some will remember that is cant be removed safely, I end up turning the PC off to remove it..... every time lol... I started using this option cos I lost programs pulling it out when something was using it.
I have tried everything. I have a SanDisk 16 gb when I go through Command Prompt it shows that it is not read-only and I did the thing in this video. Nothing. Help.
my problem was with my phone it some how had a Write Protected Error. so i just went in my phone setting and format the storage drive and it went back to normal
1. Right-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrrentControlSet\Control\ and select New Key. 2. Enter the name StorageDevicePolicies. 3. Click on the new registry key StorageDevicePolicies and on the right pan right-click, select New DWORD and give it the name WriteProtect. 4. Double click on it and set its value to 0.
i have tried it so many times but my writeProtect in ma registry is already 0 (hex) but it is still write protected , is there any other way to fix the write protect problem?
I tried formatting my usb after re inserting it to my computer but it still says that its write protected. Is there some type of software I have to download to reboot the usb?
yeah I saw that, actually that is great vid as well, and would be great if you take a time to compose them(WPI+Driver Pack Solutions+Win7) into single USB and make it multibootable(create with menu interface)
Luckily, mine is still under warranty. I'm about to return it for a new one. I have access to all the files on it, about 60 gb worth, but I cannot add or delete files. I tried everything, different devices. There isn't a fix. SD is aware of these issues and quickly accepted a return from me. Well, replacement.

Could you please help me .. :)))

I swear. I lost a few drives and thrown them away because of this. I thought I render them useless. This issue has given me fits. Glad I found this. Thanks!
didn't work. "WrireProtect" was already set to 0
same here
Same here

Same here
if you don't have the "STORAGE DEVICE POLICIES" on your regedit, you will need to create them. This worked for me.
Click start
then run regedit
go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\
if you can't find StorageDevicePolicies under control folder
then make some new one. Follow this steps:
step 1:
go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\
again and right click control folder
step 2:
select new, then click key and rename the new key #1 folder into
StorageDevicePolicies
step 3:
right click StorageDevicePolicies folder and select new DWORD(32-bit) Value
for 32-bit Operating System and select new DWORD(64-bit) Value
for 64-bit Operating System
step 4:
rename dword newer folder into WriteProtect, then double click WriteProtect
and change the value data into 0 with hexadecimal base, Then close regedit
step 5:
open my computer and refresh it 5 times without do anything to your usb, and
properly eject your flash drive
step 6:
plug in your usb again into your computer and format it using exfat instead of fat32
Thank you so much :)
At me it still doesn't work .. I don't know what to do
value data into 0 with hexadecimal base? How do you do that part?
u are Jesus
Works perfect. Thanx!
for everyone who doesn't have the reg-edit directory, Follow these instructions as noted by Sanzay Thapa, you need to make that String value, i was able to change it to zero then format it, it worked once that directory is made. 50% thank you goes to Sanzay Thapa and the rest goes to Britec09 for the video on how to do it when you have that folder. "u have to make StorageDevicePolicies key if u don't have any goto control>New key>StorageDevicePolicies>new Dword"
i dont have this folder
You are the best. Please, do more videos on Registry tricks and fixes. Thanks

I don't have a folder (StorageDevicePolicies). My Flash Drive Is CD-R KING 8GB. I need help.
I really need this usb fixed for readyboost.
Hi there. I tried everything and it still doesn't work... It says that write-protected even if the value is 0 and I have used also programs that unblock write-protection without any result. I have a SD HC 64Gb ... What should I do ?

I try and add some more registry videos on my list.
may i know the software which u used to display facebook and youtube at the bottom of the video

I don't know what step that i was wrong. Cause there is no StorageDevicePolicies folder, so i create it. Then make WriteProtected file 64x with "0" condition logic in Windows 8.1.
It still can't save my sandisk 32GB. :'(
hey do you have any advice on readonly state on a usb flash drive that doesn possess the switch for it also tried disk part (the entire flash drive is raw) a meriad of useless programs that said that they could remove said error and still nothing i can type clraa attributes in diskpart till the cows come home and still have the same issue.......... help !!!!!!!
What if I don't have StorageDevicePolicies as an option? After Storage, my only options are SystemInformation and SystemResourses.
Thanks Brian, next one we all face is when I want to remove the USB drive and I want to use the safely remove the device option down near the clock and it says you cant cos its still in use.... funny sometimes, some USB's you can remove no problems and some will remember that is cant be removed safely, I end up turning the PC off to remove it..... every time lol... I started using this option cos I lost programs pulling it out when something was using it.
StorageDivicePolicies is the only thing missing from my list. -.-
Help!!! After "Control" I can't scroll down to "Storage Device Policies" . That file doesn't exist. So where should I go???
I have tried everything. I have a SanDisk 16 gb when I go through Command Prompt it shows that it is not read-only and I did the thing in this video. Nothing. Help.
what happens when you don't have StorageDevicePolicies
same case here
then make 1
Same problem here, don't have that section
my problem was with my phone it some how had a Write Protected Error.
so i just went in my phone setting and format the storage drive and it went back to normal
***** Doesnt work
Thanks, helped a lot. Could you make a video on how to make your own Windows sound pack?
I went under Controls and there wasn't a StorageDevicePolicies...
1. Right-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrrentControlSet\Control\ and select New Key.
2. Enter the name StorageDevicePolicies.
3. Click on the new registry key StorageDevicePolicies and on the right pan right-click, select New DWORD and give it the name WriteProtect.
4. Double click on it and set its value to 0.
i have tried it so many times but my writeProtect in ma registry is already 0 (hex) but it is still write protected ,
is there any other way to fix the write protect problem?
your welcome Rufus
I dont have storage properties
i am too
Look in the description if you haven't already. Making your own StoragePolicies worked for me.
***** I have but nothing changed.
Same So annoying!
I tried formatting my usb after re inserting it to my computer but it still says that its write protected. Is there some type of software I have to download to reboot the usb?
This procedure works so well
Thank you Britec09
yeah I saw that, actually that is great vid as well, and would be great if you take a time to compose them(WPI+Driver Pack Solutions+Win7) into single USB and make it multibootable(create with menu interface)
For those people not finding this in the registry,are you signed on as administrator?Might help.
so why i cant found the file StorageDevicePolicies ?
Your welcome.
Also do you have to format the flash drive?
Cheers Daz
Luckily, mine is still under warranty. I'm about to return it for a new one. I have access to all the files on it, about 60 gb worth, but I cannot add or delete files.
