Solved: Error:The disk is write-protected

Hi Guys,
help me to come out from this issue....

The storage drive (drive I:\) will not let me write to it. I cannot rename, delete, cut, or write any new files to any part of that drive. That's troublesome, since that's where I send all of my downloads to! Even earlier in this session of windows it was working nicely,

Specifically, the error is:

"The disk is write protected. Remove the write protection or use another disk."

I've tried changing the security settings to allow USERS, or even just Administrators, full control of the drive, to no avail. I cannot modify the security settings. When I try, I get:

please help me to make out something for this stupid headache...


Thanks.:confused:

Hey guys...

Say Thanks to me.. I found the solution for this issue... I fixed it.

Here's how I fixed it:
open Regedit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrrentControlSet\Control\StroageDevicePolicies
If there is a WriteProtect key (REG_DWORD) then
1 = Write Protect On
0 = Write Protect Off

Set to 0 and try (may have to reboot in some cases)
