i have aproblem with windows 7 ultimate X64, at first everything worked fine but now when i boot up some of my hard drives ( not all ) are write protected and i can only remove the write protection with diskpart.When i boot up again the drives are write protected again,it is very frustrating anybody have a cure for this, as i said it was running perfectly at first.
View 9 RepliesI've a dual boot configuration, XP Professional and Windows 7, where the 2 partitions/OS's are independent by use of a third-party (non-Windows) boot manager. My problem is that any external hard drive I use while booted into my Win 7 OS becomes write protected within a few minutes of installation; however, the same drive is fully usable--i.e., not write protected--if used while booted into my XP Pro OS.
I'm slowly losing my mind. I've checked the registry entry involving "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies" and it's as it should be. I've used the command prompt to check volume/disk attributes for the external drives and all of them are readonly clear. Literally, running Windows 7, within minutes of plugging in an otherwise not write protected USB external hard drive it becomes write protected. Every time.
I have been using a seagate 1TB drive on a vantec dock. All of a sudden the drive has started appearing write protected and I cannot add or delete any files on the drive. This is very surprising as I haven't found any answer as to how can I remove the write protect thing and use my drive normally. This problem has many answers for windows XP but cant really google an answer for Win 7 ultimate.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to make an usb disk write protected, I have found doing this as a solution: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlStorageDevicePolicies] "WriteProtect"=dword:00000001 But this has drawbacks for me: It doesn't work on another computer. I want to make USB write Protect on My Computer and when I use My USB on another computer or my friend bring this USB and use it on his computer, then it should be write protect Automatically.
View 2 Replies View RelatedPlugged my iPhone into the computer and turned it on, I had to leave so when I came back I saw the startup repair screen. Left it on overnight and it wouldn't finish so I turned off my computer, when I turned it back on it brought me to the system recovery options screen. Tried startup repair again, this time it finished very quickly and said something like Windows is missing or it couldn't find windows. I started using the install/repair disk now because a few console commands wouldn't work without it. I remembered I accidentally installed a 32bit program in the 64bit program files the other day so I deleted the program's folder using the console, but it had no effect. I tried a few more commands and now startup repair says "bad hard disk". I tried chkdsk /r, but I get a message that reads:"The type of the file system is NTFS.Cannot lock current drive.Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected." how I can remove this write protection?
