I tried this method on a Win 8 laptop, got to the end, said finished, then gave a write error message when closing the program. I tried making it a bootable drive with Acronis and Marium Reflect. I tried the regedit method on a Win Pro laptop and Desktop, Brand new Win 10 Pro laptop (1 day old) Win 8.1 laptop. Still write-protected. I tried using chkdsk, nope. I tried going to the 4 folder and unchecking the read-only box, telling it to ignore all, still write protected. I tried EaseUS Tools M to remove write protection. Tried plain old format, couldn't.

My 32GB Voyager is 6 yrs old, so not under warranty. It's been sitting for 5 yrs, since I last wrote to it, and I decided to use it to store an img of a brand new computer, once I make it. Aaaaaand it says write protected. I have tried several suggestions, including the regedit and the first one as I do happen to have a 98SE disk, but it isn't seeing the voyager. I have tried on several computers using DISKPART with win7 PRO and WIN 10 Pro. Also tried Acronis, which doesn't see it. Any suggestions other than the "format tool" that Media Fire says was uploaded from Iran?
