I've a "IBall Cutility Ultra Strong 8 GB Pen Drive" which I was using from past two months.
Today I copied windows 7 ultimate installation files (downloaded from torrent) to install windows on my friends laptop.
Files didn't copy completely and aborted in the middle.

Then I tried to format the disk but was not able to do so. I am getting "The disk is write protected" error while copying/deleting/formatting the drive.

So far I've tried

registryKey trick (StorageDevicePolicies)
formatting from windows XP
Clearing attributes from command line

no luck till now. Kindly help.

You copied Windows 7 from a torrent?Im sorry but i dont think you are going to get anymore help as we arent permitted to assist with pirated copies of any windows operating system.I would suggest you buy a copy of windows 7 with a legal and legit COA sticker on it and go from there.Or have your friend purchase a copy because right now you arent doing your friend any favors and it wont even activate properly.
