jaclaz Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 And tried another USB Flash & hard disk the same thing Read Only.That should mean that you have some setting in your OS that prevents writing (to be 100% sure you can test those devices on another PC).There are two main reasons for this, one is the use of this key in Registry:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies]“WriteProtect”=dword:00000001there are tens or maybe hundreds of "USB protect" softwares that use the above, if this is the case, you can use info here:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/registry-hack-to-disable-writing-to-usb-drives/to disable the key.The other one is this particular software that implements a READ ONLY filter driver in the system:http://www.softpedia.com/progViewOpinions/USB-Write-Protect-163146,.htmlhttp://www.nareshmdr.com.np/index.php?pg=mysoft_info&soft=usbwp(though there may be others that use the same approach)Of course only you can say if you ever run the above mentioned - or some similar - software.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
