Nagtry po kasi ako magformat ng USB kaso ayaw maformat, write protected daw.
 
Steps For Windows: (Credits to Romz) :D

Click start
Then run regedit
Go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\
if you can't find StorageDevicePolicies under control folder
then make some new one. Follow this steps:

Step 1:
Go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\
again and right click control folder

Step 2:
Select new, then click key and rename the new key #1 folder into
StorageDevicePolicies

Step 3:
Right click StorageDevicePolicies folder and select new DWORD(32-bit) Value
for 32-bit Operating System and select new DWORD(64-bit) Value
for 64-bit Operating System

Step 4:
Rename dword newer folder into WriteProtect, then double click WriteProtect
and change the value data into 0 with hexadecimal base, Then close regedit

Step 5:
Open my computer and refresh it 5 times without do anything to your usb, and
properly eject your flash drive

Step 6:
Plug in your usb again into your computer and format it using exfat instead of fat32


After that, you're done!
You can view your USB again. :y:

1. Open the Registry Editor (Open the “Run” dialog box, type regedit and hit “Enter”).

2. Navigate to the following Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\

3. Now right-click on Control, and click on New>Key

4.Now rename this new key to StorageDevicePolicies..

5 Now right-click on StorageDevicePolicies and create a New>DWORD (32-bit) Value

6 Now rename this value to WriteProtect

7 Double-click on WriteProtect and set the Value data to 1.



To revert and remove the write-protection, all you need to do is just change the value data for write-protect (Step-5) from 1 back to 0. Now write access to all the USB devices is re-enabled.
