[avg123]

Flash drive was working fine a few days.

I used the "Recovery Drive Creator" app in Windows to make the flash drive a Recovery Drive,

But now I can no longer fornat the drive

When I try to format the drive I get error "Disk is write protected"

 

I tried everything. I tried diskpart method, i downloaded easeUS partition manager trial and nothing works.

 

DISKPART> select disk 1

Disk 1 is now the selected disk.

DISKPART> detail disk

Looks like it just died on you, flash drives typically do go read-only when they detect they're about to fail to give you a chance of recovering any needed data.
