USB Flash Dirve v215b 16GB got Write Protected

[shailendra1609]

Hi,

I have 16Gb USB Flash Drive v215b. That was working great. But from last couple of weeks it started showing problem like I cannot write large files and its not getting connected on few systems. So I formatted it and formatting went smooth. But the problem was not gone after formatting.

And yesterday  it started showing that the Drive is write protected. I have tried all the methods that are listed on the HP Forum such as changing registry, formatting from linux, formatting through cmd and all. But nothing helped me.

Please provide me some help ASAP.

Have you tried the Ufix II repair solution?

Download USB Flash Driver Format Tool (Ufix-II):

You may need to have 7-Zip installed to extract the .rar file. It is a free download.

Extract "RecoverTool_V2.00.42_M1223 8CE.exe" from the downloaded file and run it.

This usually fixes the problem.
