Hey nitiparth. Take a look at the first three methods from this article: https://www.wikihow.com/Disable-Write-Protection
They might prove useful. Also, I think the manufacturer has a formatting tool which you could try as well.

Hope that helps.

nitiparth · Answer

is there any tool available from sandisk for formatting or un-write protecting the sandisk flashdrive of 16 gb . ??

That's very unfortunate. And yes, they do have a formatting tool, just look it up in Google or in their website, I think it was named sd formatter tool. But if that doesn't do the trick and the USB flash drive is not recognized on any computer, perhaps it might have failed. :(
