December 11, 2012Its not working on my Sandisk usb 16 GB
December 15, 2012boot with gparted
December 15, 2012http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
or
Easeus Partition Manager Free Edition or Pro better?
http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm
delete the volume of your USB key and follow the wizard to create a new volume (this will format USB key)
Boss, am really noob about Gparted…only thing I know about it is I have to use this software in windows linux….but i have never try linux in my life. It would be a great work if u just show me the way to format my almost dead pen drive with gparted. My pendrive doesn’t format in windows or cmd because it’s heavily write protected.

“Solution”
To remove write protection:
*. Open Start Menu >> Run,
*.Type regedit and press Enter.
This will open the registry editor.
*. Navigate to the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
*. Double click the key WriteProtect in the right pane and set the value to 0
*. In the Data Value Box, press OK
*. Exit Registry, restart yourcomputer and then re-connect your USB pen drive to your computer.
