Remove write protection from a disk

 

        You want to remove write protection from a disk? Here’s how you do it! So, I tried to move a file on my external hard drive. I received the message “The disk is write protected – Remove the write-protection or use another disk”. This can sometimes happen (possibly a driver problem). Diskpart is a system tool that can be used to modify the attributes of disks and remove the write-protection.

        Write-protected drives are locked; users can’t delete or change the files on a write - protected hard drive, nor can they format the device. There may be a physical lock to make a disk write protected like in floppy you can use it to Remove write protection from a disk. If it is not, you can use diskpart command in dos to solve this problem. Following are the steps to solve this issue.... try it yourself.

        Step 1 » Hit “Windows+R” key to open “RUN” dialog box and type “cmd” and hit Enter.
          Step 2 » Now in command prompt type “diskpart” and press enter.
        Step 3 » Now type “list volume” it will display like “Diskpart>list volume” press enter then a list of all volumes in your pc will appear. Here you have to find the volume on which you want to remove write protection. My volume to remove the attribute read only is volume 3 here.
        Step 4 » To select the destination volume type “select volume 3′′ and press enter like in below picture then you will get a message “volume 3 is the selected volume.”
        Step 5 » After selecting your desired volume type the command ”attributes disk clear readonly” and press enter then you will get a message ”Disk attributes cleared successfully”. If you get this message successfully it means you have Removed write protection from a disk.

After doing all above steps try to format your disk. It will format easily without any error...
