I'm almost at 50% now, not using the laptop so what the heck. Top hddguy Post subject: Re: Some help with Western Digital 250gPost

Most of them work just fine, but a couple of them won't let me format them because they are "write-protected." There is no write protection switch on the device. I have exhaustively tried the following: Windows format: "The disk is write protected" HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool: "Device media is write-protected" Changing registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies to http://superuser.com/questions/689439/how-to-format-repair-a-write-protected-usb-drive-with-i-o-errors 0 diskpart clear attributes readonly diskpart clean: "Diskpart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. See the System Event Log for more information." (The System Event Log only contains the error: The IO operation at logical block address 0 for Disk 1 was retried.) HDD Low Level Format Tool: "Format Error occurred at offset 985,595,904: 1117 - Device I/O error" and hundreds of similar errors Sacrificing a lamb to the USB gods Starting in safe mode with command prompt and running format, diskpart, and chkdsk So do all these I/O device errors mean that these USB drives are just totally screwed? Is there any way to get more information about the problem? hard-drive usb usb-flash-drive format share|improve this question edited Dec 17 '13 at 6:48 asked Dec 17 '13 at 6:36 Agargara 46113 Throw them away, they are crap. You can get 1GB USB stick at Amazon USA already for around or below US$ 2. (Naming that tool "HDD Low Level Formatting Tool" made me chuckle a bit, the developers of that tool surely have a sense of humor ;) –elgonzo Dec 17 '13 at 6:46 The joke being that there's really no such thing as a low level format anymore? Anyway, I would just buy more but they have a custom logo. –Agargara
