I just want to say THANK YOU,

I have a Seagate FreeAgenk Desk external drive and could not get it to format because of the Write-Protect error. I called Seagate and they could not help me and told met that with Windows XP Home I was unable to access administrator rights to remove the Write-Protect error.

I found this site and used your suggestion, my external drive is currently formating.

I want to tell Seagate to take notice of sites like this and people like you.

Eveyone try it, it worked. just don't forget to Format your drive when you are done.

first of all my pen drive is also showing to be write protected.
then is followed your instruction but there also I found storage but not device policies and then the rest.

you said in the right side we would be getting writeprotect option but that also I didnt get.

so now what should I do. pls suggest...

I tried your "solution"..It just keeps telling my cannot find "file path"..tried typing it in many different ways to no avail??? My PNY was working fine...pulled it out of my port device and put it in my camera and all of a sudden the disk was "write protected" what could have caused this

i did as u suggested and went to " start-run----------writeprotect " and right clicked and there were 2 options "modify" and "modify binary value" , both were the same and there were abt 4 " 0s ", which one to change ??
