How to remove flash drive recording

If you want to record anything on the USB flash drive, and in response to receive the message "This disc will be protected. Use another disk or remove the protection "- Do not be discouraged. There are ways to help you quickly solve such a problem.

The method of returning a flash drive of a normal working condition depends on the cause that actually entailed the locking device. Most often, such reasons are given to the emergence of protection against recording:

flash drive is infected with a virus;
on the flash drive, a switch protecting it from recording;
the flash drive received mechanical damage and spoiled;
the file system is broken (when the safe removal function after working with the device is not used).

First, you should try to solve the problem by softer ways that do not lead to data loss on the device. If there are suspicious files on the flash drive, scan it, remove the available viruses. Also pay attention to the switch (it is usually located on the side of the flash drive) that protects the device from recording. If it is in "Lock" mode, switch it. If it does not help, insert the USB flash drive to another USB port (maybe the problem is with it).

So, if safe methods did not work, you will have to use the help of special programs. Just keep in mind that they format the flash drive, i.e. Delete files available on it. Download a universal program HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (It suits almost any flash drives). The program does not require a special installation. Just run the EXE file directly from the archive, the program will find your device automatically. Select the type of file system, click "Start".

Program Jetflash Recovery Tool. Fit flash drives manufacturers Transcend, A-Data, JetFlash. It needs to download, install, click "Start". But the program APACER REPAIR Works exclusively with Apacer flash drives. It should also download and run.

Program Alcormp It works only with AlcORMP controllers. You need to download the archive, unpack it and run alcormp.exe. By the way, all such programs are started on behalf of the administrator. To do this, we need to clap .exe file with the right mouse button, select "Run on behalf of", "Administrator". If the inscription in the line G is black, it means that your flash drive works on the AlcORMP controller. Otherwise, the inscription will be red, and the action with the flash drive is impossible. If everything is in order, select the Russian language (right at the top) and click "Start (A)".

Of course, it is preferable to remove the protection from recording, saving data on the flash drive, but in a hopeless situation there will have to use programs that format the device.
