This may help? Are you brave enough to edit your registry (having backed it up first, of course!)?

Run Registry Editor (regedit).

Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

If you have this key already, check to see if you have a value 'StorageDevicePolicies'.

If so, and the value is 1, set its value to 0, otherwise

Create a New Key named StorageDevicePolicies.

Highlight StorageDevicePolicies, and then create a New DWORD (32-bit) Value named WriteProtect.

Double click on WriteProtect, and set its value data to 0.

Fingers crossed.

Your symptoms are sometimes caused by a virus,by the way.........................
