Disk is write protected error on Pendrive

Go to solution Solved by Electronics Wizardy,

Its probably dead. They go read only when they die

I have a 32GB SanDisk Pendrive, my brothers was copying some stuff to the drive and the copying got stuck at 97% so he cancelled it and tried copying again and the error 'the disk is write-protected showed up'.

 

I have tried these methods but it doesn't work

Pls help, 

Thank you

Have you tried making a virus scan on this drive? 

You can also clean it using Diskpart or format it in minitool partition program, and see whether you can reuse this drive. If neither can help you, probably it's already dead.
