Hello aravindhenry,
You HP Pendrive is write protected. Im not sure what all the possibilities are that you have tried but there is a utility that corrects this issue if you have not tried it already.
Go to
http://www.pny.com.tw/index.php?cls=2&mode=download
You will download USB Flash Driver Format Tool (Ufix-II).
You may need to have 7-Zip installed to extract the .rar file. It is a free download. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Your going to extract "RecoverTool_V2.00.42_M1223 8CE.exe" from the downloaded file and run it.
BTW this is a volunteer forum so HP Support does not directly respond to questions posted here.

    Hi, Please try to disable write access to USB drives: Run Registry Editor (regedit).Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ControlCreate a New Key named as StorageDevicePolicies.Highlight StorageDevicePolicies, and then create a New DWORD (32-bit) Value named as WriteProtect.Double click on WriteProtect, and set its value data to 1.or return it and get a new one. Regards.

  • HP SimpleSave md1000h write protected! - can't initialize drive

    The drive does not show up under windows explorer. Under Disk Management, the drive shows up as Not Initialized and Unallocated. When I try to initialize the drive I get "The media is write protected" Restarted the PC and also the external hard drive and the same thing.
    I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit.

    You need to be an admin and also go to Control Panel --> User Accounts and turn off UAC for your account.  You can set the level back later.
    When in Disk Management, did you right mouse click on the new drive and select initialize?
    You might have bad hardware.

  • USB Flash Drive v210w 16 GB Write Protected

    Hi! After one week of usage, my new USB Flash Drive v210w 16 GB appears as Write Protected.
    Impossible to add a new file, delete an old file, even format the whole USB Flash Drive.

    Hi! I contacted hp support and got as an answer the name of a recovery utility Ufix.rar.  Unfortunately, this utility doesn't recognize the v210w. hp-branded flash USB cards are manufactured by PNY.So I went to the PNY website and dug a little. Actually, the latest release is Ufix2v3. Ufix-II (USB Flash Driver Format Tool)

  • Pen-drive recovery from bitlocker

    Hello , i secured my pen-drive with bit-locker and i forgot my password and lost my recovery key . I have a lot of important files in there , please help me recover it.

    Hi,
    Like Aaron said, sorry, but unless you remember your password, your data is unfortunately lost.
    The entire point of encrypting your data is that no one but the holder of the password has access. If there where an easy way to bypass the encryption, there would not be much point to it.

  • I know this is a common question - but is there a way to connect a USB pen drive to the iPad? (See details)

    Basically, I just bought a Nexus 7 after growing impatient waiting for the iPad mini.  But the Nexus has a fault, and I'm taking it back next week.  I'm wondering whether to get my money back, or just get another - because it's a pretty good device!
    My major big thing about it, is that I can plug a USB pen drive into it with a OTG cable and either just stream pictures, documents or movies - or save them to the Nexus for viewing without a dangly wire to annoy me.  It's great!  However, being an Apple fan - an iPad mini (if it comes out!) would be simpler, because it would sync to iCloud etc.  whereas obviously my Nexus 7 doesn't do this at all.  The only iCloud factor I can access is my mail.  Which isn't a problem, just a prefference.
    So, with current iPads - is there a way, without jailbraking the device, to say stream movies to the device through a USB pen drive/external HDD, and save them to the iPad?
    I've seen ways on YouTube but thought it was best to ask here.
    If this was possible, I'd swap the Nexus for the iPad mini straight away - the Nexus 7 is fantastic!  No problem with it, if it wasn't for iCloud, I'd keep that.
    Oh, and as a closing question on the iPad mini/Apple Maps - the Nexus 7 lets you download offline maps, and also you have a GPS which is used even when not on wifi - do you think this will be likely on an iPad mini? I can't see it myself.
    It's a sad day for me, when I start to think Google may still have the upperhand on 7" tablets, even after the iPad mini is released.  I might even wait for the Second generation (if it exists!) - just because I for some reason never like first generation things from Apple.
    But anyway, that's a lot of questions and info!
    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, fair enough.  But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible.  I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones.  Because of the vast ammount of leaks.  With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
    Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
    Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers.  It's possible to do so, I just want to know how.  I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
    No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

  • Running authroware from pen drive

    A user wants to run authorware from a pen drive.
    I had created a folder for the user, which contains published
    authorware with runtime exe.
    I've tested this on my pen drive it seems to work ok, by
    copying the folder onto the pen drive. He says he did the same.
    This users gets this error: "js32.dll is not a valid image
    for windows"
    He's translated this from spanish, so he must be running this
    on spanish windows version (if this makes any difference)
    Thanks in advance
    Jon

    OBP should place the js32.dll file in the published directory
    automatically. It is required. OBP should also place the
    dvd.dll in the
    published directory. That one is not required. I find myself
    deleting it
    often.
    If you're not using OBP, or OBP is not including that file,
    yes - you
    must then include that file on the same level as the
    .exe/runtime manually.
    If the thumbdrive has that file but it's not being found,
    likely it's
    corrupt (?). Thumbdrives are cool but not super-reliable yet
    (IME).

  • Pen drive as A: - K8N Neo Platinum?

    Is it possible to make a pen drive appear as A: on the K8N Neo Platinum?
    My floppy has failed, and I am thinking of replacing it with a pen drive. I'd like it to appear as A:, so that it can be used for the BIOS recovery procedure that looks to that drive.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Pen Drive Failure

    I have a 16 GB pen drive that I used to use to copy 5GB+ files to my windows partition. No matter the OS, It fails at 4.1 Gb copying from the drive, and the only way to make it work again it to reformat. One time I reformatted it and a week later I put it in and had copy error #0. It is a kingston drive. I think the flash is just bad or has a bad spot and will be irreparable but it would be good to get a second opinion.

    Hi Hivetyrant36;
    You have just discovered one of the limitations of FAT formating. That is it can only work with files up to 4 GB.

  • Pen drive usb transcend crazy over arch linux

    The model in question is a pen drive 4Gb Transcend JetFlash V33 that when I enter the port usb notebook with arch Linux not mount automatically (which have done all pen drive I used up to now, friends, colleagues, etc. ...). With gparted (from arch linux) tells me that the pen drive has a space-512mb (unless, that is negative) and space is not allocated (not formatted). Impossible mount from terminal, I type a message from the beginning that the size of the device can not be found after its end (and we believe with a capacity of -512). I gave the pen drive to a friend with windows Xp, where it is regularly recognized (4 gb, FAT 32). Even with the live CD systemrescueCD is regularly recognized and I move into pen a text file above (to test) after mounted it using the terminal. The text file was also seen in windows Xp. I didn't experiment with other Linux distributions. Someone knows that cabbage can be. Sorry for my bad english. Thank you.

    It is definitely able to recognize the USB and DVDs as separate drives; it gives the option of booting from USB, and it gives the memory capacity of the USB drive I used as a live USB, and the memory used for the live CD.  But when it comes time to actually boot, something is going wrong.
    I would suspect it is a problem with the BIOS, if not for the fact that I had a similar issue on my previous system, which used a completely different motherboard.  If it is the same issue, it would either have to be a problem with the DVD drive (although I don't know why it would be against loading some live CDs but not others) or perhaps the way I created the live CDs.  Although, again, I don't understand why the Linux Mint 32-bit DVD would work fine, while both 64-bit DVDs would not.
    I will try using a different DVD drive to boot the DVDs, and if that does not work, I'll try creating a new Arch live CD to see if I can resolve the issue.  But if anyone has any ideas, it would still be greatly appreciated.

  • Problems with mp3 pen-drives to listen in the car

    Hi everyone,
    i'm from Italy and a new happy iMac 27" owner by 1 month..
    i 'm really glad to have and use this wonderful machine , I come from years and years of Pc-Win.
    The only thing, for now, that causes some problems is about  saving and listening, in my car, mp3 files on USB pen drives.
    Before, using a a normal Pc-Win, i could save mp3 files and listen them in my car, but now using my iMac i can still save them but i can't listen them in my car. Something doesn't work.
    if i create a pen-drive with my mp3 files i can listen only few of them, but many files don't play.
    - I created the pen-drive (FAT formatted/initialized) using iTunes, drag and drop the files on the pen drive icon
    - I tried to create the pen drive using only Finder App
    - i tried to change the pen drive
    - I tried to check the differences between the files that work and the others, but it seems there is no much differences
    - I tried to erase the pen drive trash
    .. nothing
    the problem is still here, i can only listen a few tracks.
    Somebody knows something about this problem ?
    Thanks a lot in advance... sorry for my english

    I bought an inexpensive set ($7) of portable speakers that run on 3 AAA batteries. My iPod plugs into it thru the headphone jack and has a little rest for the iPod. The sound results are pretty good and they are small so I can put it on the floor, seat or even in the cupholder and still hear my music. It kind of looks like the bookshelf sound system they sell only much smaller as the speakers are on each side of the ipod. I got mine at Big Lots. But I am sure lots of other places sell them.

  • How to delete locked files on pen drive

    I have a pen drive which has 2 partitions and there is no problem with one partition.  Other partition shows itself as "CDROM" and none of the files in that partition could be deleted.  There is no option to format the entire pen drive also.  Even if I format it, the "CDROM' partition still remains.

    Hi Scott,
    2 ways to go...
      1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
    Or...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

  • Mac Pro can't recognize 1GB Pen Drives... How to fix it?

    Recently I keeps encountered the same annoying problem...
    My Mac Pro can't recognize the USB pen drives when I or my co-worker plug into Mac Pro's USB port.
    For a few times, if we are lucky, Mac Pro shows the pen drive on the desk top, but sometimes it can't read or write the data from/to the pen drive, many times, it simply freeze over.
    Does anyone knows how to fix such problem? It seems to me that the new Mac Pro still has some bugs needs to be sort out...
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Malcolm:
    Thanks for the post.
    No, my new Mac Pro system does not have USB port on the Keyboard, cause I've opted for Apple's wireless blue tooth mouse and keyboard.
    I do have 2 USB ports on the Apple's 23" LCD display, and Two USB ports on front side and two available USB ports on the back of the Mac itself.
    During the Thanksgiving long weekend, I think I might accidentally singled out the cause of my problem.
    I have my HP printer and one multi-card reader constantly pluged into the two USB ports at the back of my Mac, and always tried to use the front side USB ports for the 1GB USB Pen Drives, and that's where the problem lays!
    When I unplug the Multi Card Reader from the back USB port, and suddenly all USB ports on my Mac works just fine with the Pen Drives!!!
    So, for now, I plug the Multi Card Reader in one the the front USB port, and the rest of the USB ports on the Mac work with Pen Drives flawlessly, it seems that I sloved my problem for the time being...
    As for those two USB ports on the back of my 23" Apple Display, They can not take my USB Pen Drives, as you've mentioned that it does not have enough power for the USB Pen Drives.
