Hey there, I see you're dealing with an HP V210W 16GB USB drive that's showing "write protected." It seems like the drive is trying to protect itself after recovery. You mentioned using a software to restore the drive, but once you eject and reinsert it, it reverts to read-only. That’s frustrating! Have you tried checking the drive’s status in BIOS or looking for any hidden formatting options? Also, ensure the USB is properly seated before ejecting. Let me know if you need more guidance!

It’s probably no longer usable. Many flash drives switch to read-only when they sense impending failure, giving you a brief window to save data before corruption occurs.
