Hello, I can't modify my USB disk, that is formatting, deleting, editing, adding files and so on. It displays a text which says 'disk is write protected'. I have tried using the Registry Edit, but it says i have no permission rights to create StorageDevicePolicies. I also tried using the 'Command Prompt', it did not work. Please Help.

Hi

You must not try to create StorageDevicePolicies, you must first find it in the registry, press F3 and type: StorageDevicePolicies, press oka it should lead you to it.
