    Silly question, are you logged into an Admin account?
    IS there a switch on the drive?

    No it shows that even though I was able to remove the read only attribute I was not able to remove or change the '''Current state Read-Only Attribute'''

    The CMD window is confusing. But you have the drive in a RAW state now.
