juliojakers Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Hi.. Lovers.. I have a problem about my Flash Drive.. I usually use my 8Gb Flash Drive for Virtual Memory...Like ReadyBoost option on Win 7... After a couple month, my 8Gb Flash Drive is cannot be Formatted... I have Pluged in the size of my Flash Drive is 6 GB free, so it's used about 1Gb used... I check the inside of my Flash Drive, It still have Ready Boost file, the size about 4.6 Gb... I tried Format it and the problem comes... 1. The problem about The Disk is Write Protected.... 2. If "The Disk is Write Protected" not come's out, "Windows unable to Format" is happen... So anyone here have a problem about Flash Drive cannot be formated and He/She can SOLVE it ... I would be glad if He/She shared with me and everyone on our Beloved Forums.. Thank's Again...
lordofthedread Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Best solution would be to buy a new flash drive, sounds to me this one as a problem that can't be fixed by software but I might be wrong.
juliojakers Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 Is that soo...~_~)"I read some forum from Google, Some of them have exactly problem as mine... After they using Ready Boost their Flash Drive cannot be Formated... And I read some of them it's solved with Win XP..I haven't try it so, don't know if that was true..

gvman3670 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Bring up "my computer". Right click on the drive in question. Go to "properties". Click the ReadyBoost tab. Choose "do not use this device" then hit "apply". Done deal. You should be able to format it afterward.
