Flash drive WRITE PROTECTED,, not able to format

I am having some problems with my flash drive (SANDISK 8GB), i can't format and change any file of my flash drive, every method for flushing my data gave me the same respond, THE DISK IS WRITE PROTECTED,
i googled for the same but all was in vain,,, i tried formatting my drive with command prompt in safe mode but didn’t work and i as well tried it formatting it with low level formatting software, I also followed the registry editor method but didn't worked,,,,,
, I almost tried all method that i was suggested by GOOGLE but all was in vain... lastly i hope to get a successful idea from the forum, I want my fresh looking Flash drive work smartly once again.....THANKS IN ADVANCE….

Hi,

Have you tried a clean all from an elevated command prompt, before formatting the drive?

Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command

Hey GOLDEN, thanks for your suggestion but its also not working, i tried both clean and clean all commands in an elevated command prompt but it show an error that reads " Diskpart has encountered an error: The drive is write protected. see the system event Log for more information,,
System event log ,, what does that means,, does it make any sence,,,,

Jacee, I think thats the registry editor method he mentions.......lets see what he says

Did you try this? (found in a Google search):

IT'S WORKS

Check out the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies.

The value 'WriteProtect' should be absent or set to '0'.

YES, exjactly that was the registry editor method i mentioned,, but for my surprise there isn't any storagedevicepolicies in that location mentioned above, i can see Storage there, but i don't think it's the same,,, this method failed becoz i could not spot out storagedevicepolicies
