forumflare.comSanDisk Cruzer Edge - Write Protected - Can't Format.
So here's the deal,
I downloaded a Chrome OS .IMG file and wrote it to my flash drive, all was well, worked great.
Chrome OS is pretty basic, but it's cool.
Anyway, now, I want to format it to remove everything on it, but I'm unable to now.
Partition Guru shows an EXT3 showing 1 GB of space taken up on the flash drive.
While Windows, Mac, Ubuntu won't even let me see the partitions and whatnot.
And of course, none will let me format and/or alter the flash drive in any way.
I've Googled for hours, no program has worked yet, nuffin.
Granted I can just buy a new one, I'd like to get this one working, it's my keychain one.
Any ideas?
Windows way I've tried:
HP USB Format Tool.
Windows Format.
CMD Format.
Bunch of apps.
Mac:
Native Partition manager. (Forgot the name.)
Ubuntu:
GParted or sumfin like that.Exel Reviewed by Exel on . SanDisk Cruzer Edge - Write Protected - Can't Format.

forumflare.comHey bud,
I'll give that a try.
I've tried a bunch of partition managers, none seem to work.
From Norton to unbranded ones.
It definitely wouldn't be my BIOS settings, as I've tried it on different computers.
I've also looked for a Read-Only toggle or button on it, but there isn't any. o:

if u format ur pen drive. then use this step
-
Check out the registry under:
1)click on start button
2)clik on run dialog box
3)type regedit
4) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControl…
The value 'WriteProtect' should be absent or set to '0' and when you try to format it you have to format it as FAT16
Or this might help you
