How to remove write protection from SanDisk Cruzer Edge 16Gb

[3ll4in3]

Open command prompt window and execute these commands in this order:
1. diskpart
2. list disk
3. select disk # (# is the number assigned to the flash drive)
4. clean
After i type this it says...(Diskpart has encoutered an error: The media is write protected. See the System event log for more information.)
5. create partition primary
6. select partition 1
7. active
8. format fs=ntfs quick

Exit after it's done, remove the stick from usb and plug it again.

How do i tackle this V1ctor89? (hope your still helping around this site)

Thanks for the helpful link Lennart221998, but now the computer won't read the usb.
I can see it in the control panel but it can't be detected...
