    Please post a working procedure or link.

    Thank you!

    See if your pendrive has a tiny switch to adjust it between writable and write protect. It doesnt come on newer flash drives but still. Else ur pendrive may need a replacement.

    is it transcend flash drive? if yes go to the transcend website and then try to format your flash drive with their tool (online formating) or try this methods go to
    Control Panel-Administrative Tools-computer management-storage-disk management- right click on your flash drive and choose format. Done, It works for me.
