4 Ways To Remove Write Protection From Any Pendrive Or Memory Card
In This Post, I am going to tell you 4 ways to remove write protection from any pendrive or memory card. Try these steps if one method didn't worked for you then try another method.
Here are the methods to remove write protection from any pendrive or memory card.
♨️METHOD #1
Open Registry editor of your PC
For this you should type command “regedit” on run.
Successively navigate to following linkHKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\storatedevicepolicies( Note: if you can’t find ” storatedevicepolicies ” after “control” folder then you need to create it. For that follow instructions mentioned below )
Open a new note pad file.
Copy this
cd\reg add “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies” /t Regdword /v
WriteProtect /f /d 0
save it as DISABLEWP.BAT
Then copy it to the startup folder.
In right-side u will be getting the write-protect option, just right-click that and modify the hexadecimal value from 1 to 0
Restart your PC and enjoy!!!!

Method #3
1. Start > Run -> type “CMD” and press enter
2. type< diskpart
3. type< list volume
4. type< select volume # (# is the number of the USB HDD you’ve plugged in)
5. type< attributes disk clear readonly
(If you need help while typing commands then type “HELP FORMAT” on the command prompt)
============================================================================================
METHOD #4
There are a series of options in the Group Policy Object Editor that deal with read/write permissions on hard drives and removable media. I basically changed their individual settings from “Not configured” to “Disabled”.
Start -> Run… -> gpedit.msc -> OK
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Removable Storage Access
In here I disabled all of the “Deny read access/write access” options; you may only want to disable the ones relating directly to the type of media that you want to access.
Here are the ones I changed:
Removable Disks: Deny execute access
Removable Disks: Deny read access
Removable Disks: Deny write access
Double-click each one and select the ‘Disabled‘ radio button.
Do the same as above, except the first step is “User Configuration” instead of “Computer Configuration”
(Best result if you try both method #1 and method #4 together)
