Right click on the drive when looking at your files under computer, after right clicking there is a format option and basically say yes until it formats, it knows what options to pick.

8 steps ... are you trying to create a bootable thumb drive?

no i'm trying to format my flashdrive that says its written protected when i try to format it.

Ah, ok.

Most of the time, one of the tricks on this page works. If none of them work, the flash drive is most likely dead.

You should update the OP to include the fact that it's saying the drive is write protected.

 

First thing I would do is check to make sure your USB drive doesn't have a write-protect switch on the drive physically. This was really common with older drives, SD cards, etc, but isn't very common anymore.
