    16 GB SanDisk Cruzer suddenly becomes write protected!


    Got a 16 GB SanDisk Cruizer flash drive and it did well - until I swapped my hard drive for an SSD.

    Since the SSD conversion, the ReadyBoost file on it does not work - Windows won't use it because I have an SSD - that' fine. The real problem is the SanDisk became write protected - can't format, can't delete.

    Don't have a problem with a 1 GB flash drive - a SanDisk problem?

    Already tried rededit, going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies and entering WriteProtect = 0

    Well try to use a boot partition manager. This allows you to boot from a CD to manage partitions. You can use this to format your flash drive. Search google for boot partition manager.
