HP v165w 8GB formatting error - drive write protected - Windows can't format - HP tool can't format

Hi,
I am having trouble understanding what happened with this drive. It worked fine for weeks and weeks and now all of a sudden Windows 7 asks me that it needs to fix something because the files are corrupted or whatever... it does that successfully and after a few days I get an error message saying Windows can't access the drive and it needs to format it.
I did the following:
- Used Disk management with no luck... tried to format, reassign drive letters and so on.
- Used HP formatting tool - and this is where I get the message saying the drive is Write protected
- Used HP formatting tool and Disk management in Safe mode thinking there might be some processes running that are interfering, no luck, same result for both.
- Used AH320_Utility_LFormat with no luck... it can't even find the USB device.
One thing that catches my eye:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{71A27CDD-812A-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}
has the entry StorageVolumes - UpperFilters (tdrpman ; snapman ; timounter) - LowerFilters (fvevol; rdyboost)
Is it a registry issue? Like we see in CD/DVD drives when they go missing from my computer?
Is it a MasterBootRecord virus?
Is it a Windows corruption?
Please help! If you need additional info please ask!
Thank you!

DIAdem 9.1; Windows2000; right problem; "Configuration-Drive Write Protected" for USER

i run into problems working with DIAdem 9.1 on Windows 2000 SP4!
The Diadem installation went quite well.
My problem:
only "Administrator" and "Power User" have the privilige to "WRITE" to the DIAdem install directory.
Trying to start Diadem as non priviliged USER I get something like:
DIAdem Configuration-Drive "C:\PROGRAM FILES\ NATIONAL INSTRUMENT\DIADEM 9.10" WRITE PROTECTED!
I installed & started DIAdem for one
time with Administrator rights. I activated the Product and exported
the KEY to a License Server. Everything works fine for Power Users an
Administrators. Only "simple" USERs are not able to start Diadem due to
missing WRITE permissions. i can't grand this permissions to
normal USERs :-(
Playing around in Registry -> "RegWriteAccessAllow" ("0","1") (DWORD) (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/National Instruments/Diadem/9.10),
didn't solved the problem.
I switched back to "local License" Managment (local Key files) but the Probelm persists.
thanks in advance
P.S.

Hi DirkT,
Running DIAdem with User rights has different aspects we need to look at.
1) Registry Write Access
Launching DIAdem the first time with administrative rights registers some OLE components in the registry. After this step no more Admin rights are necessary for the registry. However running DIAdem as user might result in error messages as DIAdem tries to re-register the components again. You can avoid this by setting the RegWriteAccessAllow Key to 0 (see online help under "Administrator Notes")
2) File / Folder Write Access to the DIAdem Installation Folder
DIAdem needs write access to certain files e.g. the error logfile DEM_ERRS.001 or DESKTOP.DDD when saving configurations. You may change the folder where these file are being stored and searched for to a writeable folder by launching DIAdem with the "/d<NewFolder\MyDesktop.ddd>" start parameter or by setting the environment variable "DemDDD" to that folder. Then move the following files from the DIAdem installation folder to your new writeable folder:
*.ddd
userpar.par
dem_errs.*
3) File / Folder Write Access to other Folders
There are a number of other folders that DIAdem 9.x needs write access to and which cannot be changed. All of these folders are located by default under "%ProgramFiles%\National Instruments\Shared". Currently you need your Admin to give you write access to that folder and below
For future versions of DIAdem the team is working to make running under user rights easier.
Hope that helps,
Marcus

Thumb Drive write protected after plugging into MacBook Pro

So I recently plugged my 64GB thumb drive into my MacBook Pro to transfer music from my old mac to my new one. Although as soon as I plugged into the MacBook Pro, it write protected it rendering it useless as I do not wish to use it as a storage drive for 60 songs! It is not even 1/2 full and because I plugged it into a MacBook Pro I can't use it anymore!? It is formatted to MS-FAT, and previously I had plugged it into my 09 MacBook with no problems! Please help me Make it a read and write again!!! The thumb drive is only a week old!!! There are no virus' as I have had the music on my Mac for 5 years and it has all come from the iTunes store!!!

Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the Disk Utility, and try running the Repair Disk command on it. If that command’s not available or doesn’t work, copy your files off and try getting a replacement.

DVD drive "write protected"

When I insert a DVD-R into my external usb-connected Lenovo DVD Drive (USB 2.0 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo II Drive) and I try to format it to prepare it for backing up data, I get "Disk is write protected." What's going on?

you got the combo drive, and not a dvd burner, it can only burn cd and not dvd....

Lacie Drive write protected

Hi all,
I've purchased a new 500 gig LaCie drive and it is write protected and all the button pressing won't allow me to rename the drive. What I'm wanting to do is: I have a 250 Gig drive named after one of my clients. It's nearly full so I want to rename the new 500 gig drive the same as the smaller one then simply copy all the files from one to the other. Any advice would be much appreciated

Sounds like your drive is pre-formatted using the (PC) NTFS format ... you need to use OS X's /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility app to reformat the disc ... format it as Mac OS Extended (not journaled) and you'll be good to go

Stuffit expander - can't create archives, get error folder write protected

I'm going nuts trying to figure out this problem. I figured it out on one user's machine over a month ago, but forgot what I did. I've installed Stuffit Deluxe 12 for a user. When she drags a folder on Stuffit, she gets an error that says "The destination folder "Desktop" is currently write-protected." Please select another destination."
I've repaired permissions TWICE. I made sure the entire user's folder had the correct permissions and propagated them. This happens whether I try to save to the desktop, documents, whatever. I don't know what else to do.
I've removed all traces of Stuffit and re-installed and still get the same problem.

Repairing permissions does not touch the Home folder or its content. Check the permissions on the Home folder as well as the Desktop folder within. You can use Get Info to see the settings as well as change them if necessary.
Home folder permissions:
Owner=username with Read/Write privileges
Group=admin with Read-only or Read/Write privileges
Everyone=Read-only
Desktop folder permissions:
Owner=username with Read/Write privileges
Everyone=No Access

Remove Write Protection of my HD

I have two WD-My Passport HD, 500 GB. Im using them as a DJ device. I formatted them in MS-DOS (FAT), using the Disk Utilities. But after I put the songs in the HD, when I connect it to the CD Player, it appears the message "ERROR - Remove Write Protection”. How do I remove this protection?

Thanks very much for replying! I have had my memory stick for a good while and it has always worked perfectly fine on any computer (OSX and Windows) and I've been able to save or delete files as I wish. But then suddenly the stick just wouldn't let me save any files in it anymore and says it's write protected (hope that's the right term, I'm not an English speaker). So I've been trying to figure out how to remove the write protection so that I would be able to use it as I did before, e.g. saving/deleting files. I came across with tips that said that in some sticks there could be a physical switch and just wanted to make clear that this is not the case with my stick. I did found some instructions how to remove the protection in Windows, but they were no use for me. Does this make it any clearer, I hope ?

Advanced Format Hard Drive not recognized by HP DV6000 Controller

Hello,
I have an HP DV 6000 laptop (6276 I think, I'm at work can't check) that came preinstalled with a Western Digital 160gb 1.5gb/s 5400 RPM drive (Vista) that failed a couple of weeks ago. So i bought a Western Digital 750 GB WD Black SATA III 7200 RPM 16 MB drive to replace it. I read about people having some problems with Advanced Drive Format hard drives not being recognized by their controller, but also read that depending on the controller and specific Dv6000 model laptop they had-one wouldn't run into problems.
Well sure enough, when attempting to install Windows 7 I received the error that the hard drive was not detected. After researching online I came across an article on WD's site that noted
"Our SATA II hard drives use autospeed negotiation. This enables our SATA II drives to automatically detect the motherboard data transfer rate, making it backward compatible with SATA I data transfer rates. However, some older SATA I controllers are unable to support autospeed negotiation and cannot recognize the drive. This “drive not detected” condition occurs when a chipset is incapable of correctly negotiating the data transfer speed with a SATA II hard drive."
my drive is a SATA ||| but I'm pretty sure it's the same problem. The site goes on to say a fix would be to "purchase and install a third party PCI or PCI-Express Second Generation Serial ATA controller card for your Serial ATA hard drive(s)."
My question(s) are.
1)Is the problem that I am trying to install a Sata ||| hard drive on a laptop with a controller that will only recognize SATA | hard drive?
2) Or is the problem that the hard drive is an Advanced Drive Formatted hard drive and I need to buy a hard drive with out that specification?
3) Or Should I buy a SATA controller card as WD suggests on their website and if so will this definitely allow my laptop's controller to recognize the new hard drive and proceed with the installation?
4)Or Should I just return the hard drive and buy a SATA | non Advanced Drive Format hard drive? (question 2 basically)
Thanks for your help!

Hi @jasmine00
Welcome to the HP Support Forums.
I certainly understand your issue with the drive upgrade. Unfortunately it is a bit of the nature of notebooks, the sacrifice of a large amount of upgradeability, in exchange for compactness and portability. Whenever a new technology comes out, older notebooks are never really going to be easy to upgrade, it at all. Normally the unit as a whole is tested with a set list of hardware, and only those items are supported.
That being said there is this document that could be helpful with your problem.

Yes I am able to connect to the guest vnc console, and proceed with the install.
I did, Choose a language, choose a keyboard, configure TCP/IP, Manual TCP/IP configuration, after this I am getting a message "That directory could not be mounted from the server"
I tried giving the IPAdress of the OVM Server where the directory was mounted, nothing is working. I cannot proceed any further.
