Removing Write Protection from Flash Drive

[johnshr]

I have tried Drivepart to remove Write Protection but can't clear stick. It says check event log for more information. Any ideas on where to go in diskpart.exe

Stupid, I know, but some USB drives have little switches on them to make them read only or writeable. Make sure this is set to writeable.

I tried remove the attribute read-only, disk partition... Non works.
I went to the manufacturer support site downloaded the new updated firmware after installing the firmware, remove it then put it back in to format it. Make sure you read the instruction file to update the firmware correctly.
It worked for me.
