How do I recover a write protected drive?

FaZe Rain · July 28, 2015

I have a 16gb "GorillaDrive" flash drive that i have barely even used. Ive had it for 5 months, and I've only ever used it for DLC maps on Xbox360 Black Ops 2. There are 4 map packs on the drive, and it was about 14GB full when it started to act funny. Firt, it wouldnt load certain maps from it, then is suddenly rejected any maps to load from it. Any advice on how to recover the drive is greatly appreciated.

You can always wipe it by connecting it to your computer.

When I attempt to format it, an error tells me that it is write protected.

Here's some instructions on using diskpart to format a USB drive, if that's what you're trying to do. http://www.doztech.net/howto/format-your-flash-drive-with-diskpart/
