Or else if there isnt that option just try to format it in windows using the inbuilt windows features by right clicking on it and chosing the option to format. That will surely remove the write protection.Quote:

Hi harsh,
If you are using a Windows 7 operating system then have you tried to install the JetFlash Recovery Tool v1.0.12 in compatability mode? Or else make your write protected drive "shared", that means go to my computer---> then right click on flash drive---> click sharing & security---> check both "share this folder on network" & "allow users to change my files" ,apply setting then you'll be able to format your drive.
Same problem here ... I just format my JetFlash 500 pen drive with JFFormat tool by transcend .Allthough it formats the drive but write protection is still in play . Kindly help !!
Can you try editing the registry directly for removing the write protection from the pen drive. Select START and RUN to open the run dialog box. Type "regedit" (without quotes) into the dialog box that appears, and press enter. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies. Change the value for the key "WriteProtect" to 0Quote:

and windows or command line wont format...
when i switch pendrive to pc .it shows an message that ''your hardware might not work properly" .........what can i do could u tell the problem.......
Well, the kind of error that you are getting is related to a hardware needing a driver to be installed on the pc. But since you are using a pen drive I think you simply need to connect the pen drive in some other usb port available in your pc and check if the error goes away. If still no joy then simply install the latest driver for the product by downloading it from the manufacturer's website.Quote:
