(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I bought a 16 GB HP flash memory the other day it called (v165w)

i wanted to copy my MP3 folder to, it's about (8 GB) i started copying it and it said going to take 25 minute, so i let it copying and went to sleep. I woke up the next day and there was an error and the folder stoped copying half way, i tried to delete the folder and it just says (it's write-protected) i tried adding to it, it says the same thing it's write protected, when i tried to format it, it said its write protected.

I tried every way to format it non of them worked, I spent the whole day yesterday trying to format it but couldn't.

here is what I tried so far:
- formating from disk managment (device media is write protected)
- format in safe mode (no difference)
- removing write protection from the registry StorageDevicePolicies (didn't work)
- used HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (write protected)
- used Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool (Kept saying error for 24 hour)
- and a couple more tools couldn't even find the device.

whoever fixes it i will send him 1 million vBux, i spent 60 dollars on the stick.

loool, really ??

im planning to go and try to return it tonight, since its wont work anyway i thing im gonna try that.

is there a switch on the side of the flash drive? i looked it up and a lot of people had switches on the side of their drives and it fixed it.

VIRUS OR TROJAN INFECTIONS:




Virus or trojans can run some process that keeps running in background. This not only harms the computer, but also prevents the pen drive from formatting as it shows that the drive is in use. Remove and re-insert the pen drive, don’t double click on drive and cancel autorun operations if it starts automatically. Run a virus scan on pen drive, this will help fix the issue. Now format the pen drive.
