Write protected

My 750Gb passport drive refuses to be recognised in “My Computer”. In disk management it’s recognised but “unallocated” I’ve tried to initialize the drive with no joy. Kept getting a write protected error. After reading threads on this I have tried editing the registry keys, different computers, different cables… with no outcome…

OS: Win7

Any help?

Try deleting the driver disconnect safely reboot system and plug back in. Sometimes a corrupt driver is the cause. You can try this some people have had sucess if partition data is corrupt http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
