Hi there community of Tom's Hardware
So I have ran into a problem that I simply cant fixed and it is kind of weird since I found a couple of solutions but non of them work. My flash drive is not accessible. I cant copy files to it or nothing. Every time I try and open the drive it gives me the error The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. When I try and format the drive I get the error that the drive is write protected
Solutions that I have tried is:
I went to registry editor added SystemDevicePolicies and added a DWORD value called WriteProtect and set the value to 0.
I edited the Local Group Policy editor and set the value in Deny read access and Deny write access to disabled
I tried to run the command chkdsk /f g: (My usb has the drive letter G)
I followed a Diskpart tutorial which also had no effect.
I inspected my usb flash and there is no lock switch on it.
So I have ran out of solutions. Maybe you know of more solutions
My computer specs are as follows (I am sure you don't need but its just good practice)
OS: Windows 10 (64 bit)
CPU - Intel i5-4690 3.5 GHz
Ram - 8Gb
GPU - GTX 650
PSU - unknown
MOBO - Z97 Guard Pro
If you read everything I solute you kind sir or madam.
Thanks
