Dr_JRE Honorable Aug 12, 2012 423 0 10,960 Jul 11, 2013 #2 Try this: http://download.cnet.com/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool/3000-2094_4-10974082.html (The HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool) If that doesnt work we can try manually removing write protection with diskpart. Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click on "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator" type "diskpart" type "listvolume" type "select volume #" (# = number for bad drive) type "attributes disk clear readonly" type "exit"
