Start > Run > type ‘regedit’ (without the speachmarks) > Enter – Single-click on ‘My Computer’ > File > Export > save it to the Desktop (Always best to have a backup!!) – Go to the following:
MyComputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDeviceP olicies *There seems to be some spaces here in ‘StorageDevicePolicies’
in the text above, there shouldn’t be, OK* – Double click on the string ‘WriteProtect’ and change the ‘Value Data’ box to ‘0’ – Then: File > Export > save somewhere useful as something like ‘StorageDevicePolicies001.reg’ – You also need to do this for the strings in any folders called ‘ControlSet***’ (* = any Digit, i.e. 001, 002) – for example: Everything is the same, just change ‘CurrentControlSet’ to ‘ControlSet***’
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\StorageDevicePolic ies *There seems to be some spaces here in ‘StorageDevicePolicies’ in the text above, there shouldn’t be, OK* – Save these to the same place as before as ‘StorageDevicePolicies00*’ The saves are in case it reverts at a later date, just double click (saying ‘yes’ to importing these to the registry) on all of the files and it will all work again!
