Maintaining write protection after using RUFUS
Maintaining write protection after using RUFUS
i used rufus for win 10 iso to test in the latest release; afterward it became locked. i ran diskpart to clear the disk, format it with fat32 quick, and the image disappeared, but write protection remained. when i attempted a clean operation it said "disk is write protected, access denied." i also tried regedit without success. using it on another machine didn’t help either. the write protection still exists, and regedit only affects your local system. what alternatives could i consider?
Press DISKPART, type LIST VOLUME, then press SELECT VOLUME X to remove the write protect from your USB. Type ATTRIBUTES DISK CLEAR READONLY, and you’ll see a confirmation that the protection is gone. Press ATTRIBUTES to exit.
