Write Protected USB

You may have had experienced those corrupted files, cant detect your flash drive,and you cant even format it coz everytime you do, a 'write protected' notice would always prompt up..I think spyware or malware do that, and some anti-virus software cant detect them either. Been there, and i tried everything that i know, like going to command prompt and do the 'chkdsk' thing. Tried it on other computer, even downloaded some recovery tools. But, Unfortunately it did not work out.

I tried looking for a recovery tools.... then to formatting tools( coz i already lost my patience). and i found this Hard Disk Low level Format Tool from HDDGURU ( anyway if it doesn't work, just google whatever formatting tools , as long as it supports Low Level Formattting)... download, installed it, ran the program and presto! i have my 8G Transcend Flash Drive back!

just to make to sure it works fine, Go to My Computer, right click on your flash drive, Properties, Go to Tools then under Error-Checking, Click Check Now.. check all the text box there and START.

or run command prompt, and do the 'chkdsk'..


thats all, hope it works on you too..


Lesson?
-Be Safe, than sorry.:-D

Anyway, You can Download it here.
