How to remove write protection on pen drives

Sometimes, while copying files from one disk to another, you may get an error showing that the disk is “write protected”. This tutorial is for handling that error.

What is Write protection?

As the term explains itself, Write protection means that the disk is protected against write operations. i.e., you can’t write on the disk. You are only allowed to read and copy data from that disk, but unable to write or delete any content of that disk.

Why this happens to USB drives?

This can happen because of any one of these two reasons.

1. Virus attack. Viruses sometimes change the access to be write protected, which may lead to this problem.
2. Enabling the Lock switch. Some USB device has a lock switch. If you lock that using the switch, then it will make the access restricted from write.

here is the solution to remove write protection in pendrive due to virus. please do the following steps 

1. Press Windows + R to open the Run Window an then type regedit and press Enter to open the

Registry Editor.

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\storatedevicepolicies 

in right side u will be getting writeprotect option, just right click that and modify the value from 1 to 0 

[If that doesn’t exist then add add a new key named StorageDevicePolicies. Now navigate to that and create a new D-WORD(32 bit), WriteProtect.]

it will work definetly ...................
