Bigbiz Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Any suggetions on fixing a usb that just doesnt want to work. The lights turn on, the drive letter shows, but when I go to format it nothing . Also says that it is write protected; diskpart for windows is not working. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap_Sig Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 More information would be need to know for sure. Where did you get the drive? Some drives are write protected but they are typically drives you receive from a company/etc that done want you deleting the files on them.
