I tried to use this tool and it tells me that the device is write protected. It started off as the G: drive and I got the warning as soon as it started. It automatically switched to F: drive and then started the process and it tried to reformat for at least 20 mins and I came home and I got the same "device is write protected" message.

Greetings!
This is a link to the HP formatting tool - it might format your drive. Most likely your drive is DEAD.

Let me know if the problem still exist!
