Hi friend iam unable to format my 8 gb iball cordial pendrive it shows the disk is write protected and nothing is copied

SOURCE: formattin of pendrive

Your pen drive probably lost or never had a partition table. Unallocated space means the space isn't allocated to either a partition or logical drive.

Rightclick the drive in Disk Management, there should be an option to create a partition. Right after you create it. It wil ask you to format it.

Let me know whether it helped.
Please rate my solution when this was the answer to your solution.

Greetings,

If your drive is partitioned with FAT32 then it cannot copy larger files. You have to format it using NTFS.

1. download and install file shredder
2. shred all the files which are in pendrive(after shredding u will not be able to recover them)

Think this write protection error is due to some virus.
Steps to remove write protection for Transcend users
1) Go to download center of the transcend,here is the link
http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/DLCenter
Type the model no. or part of model number you are looking for.
example: JFV30(all alphabets in Caps )
2) Choose other details like product type etc. and search for your product
3)Then select the product which which is most similar to yours from search results
4)Then download the mFormat utility. You will asked for serial no. if you dont have..enter this no. 1456784523
5) Connect your pen drive
6) run the mformat utility and select full format after full format your write protection will be removed. try twice or thrice if you can't correct at first time.
Thats all...

It worked for me and my friends....

Other pen drive users may visit there vendors site and download any fromat utility present there for your model.
