write protected hard drive
I haven't been able to find a resolution for this problem with microsoft, nor using my friend google and wondered if the collective Pprune brains can help.
Win XP sp3, zone alarm and avsoft anti virus. Internal HDD (C) and USB HDD (partitioned L & M.) I have been using L as a back up. One day,when trying to create a new folder I found 'unable to create new folder as media is write protected.' I created the new partition M using AESEUS, the new partition was fine. Next day when trying to create a new folder 'unable to create new folder as media is write protected' appeared on M. Disconnecting and reconnecting L/M made no difference. Luckily (?) no problems with C.
Can I and if so how do I remove the write protection?
