You can check this in Disk Utility.
Macs can read and write Microsoft FAT format. Microsoft NTFS format is read only unless you get a copy of this: http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac/

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 ?

How do I "un-write protect" USB flash drives?

I recently purchased a new computer that has Windows 8. One of my many flash/thumb drives is now suddenly marked "write-protected" when I did nothing to make it so. I found a solution listed for Windows 7. I applied it to my
own computer, however it did not change the said drive from write-protected to un-write protected. I simply want to move files to another storage device and re-format the write-protected drive for new files. How do I un-write-protect my flash/thumb
drive in the Windows 8 operating system?

I ran in to the same problem but none of the instructions here helped. doing some more searching i found a different article that supplied the answer for my issue. wanted to share in case other were still having issues.
If the problem is persistent with the drive and you still can't copy files to it or format it after:-
1- You tried removing read-only permission from the drive properties
2- You tried formatting from Windows
3- You tried formatting from CMD using DISKPART
4- You tried editing the Registry solution (for WriteProtect word)
5- You tried the different free online tools like
HDD LL Format tool and HP Format Tool
Then your drive is corrupt and needs the internal chipset S/W to be flashed, i.e. repairing the USB software The
steps below will lead you to get a small program to run on your USB memory-stick which is specific to your MANUFACTURER (make) and PRODUCT (model). If you don't want to go through the headache of the manufacturer's technical support then
do it yourself as follows (which I source from here):-
1- Get Chip
Genius portable application from here which
you will use to find the VID and PID of the USB stick chip.
2- Search for the tool to repair your USB stick S/W from FlashBoot
website . Search using your VID and PID from the previous step.
3- Search on Google for the name of the application you find in the "UTILS" column in the page from step 2 and the first link on Google Results
(usually) will take you back to the FlashBoot website to download the utility to get your USB drive repaired.
It worked for me for my Kingston Data Traveler flash drive. It didn't work with all the common options for fixing the USB drive having "write protected",
but the above solution I found after hours and hours of searching online and asking my computer-geeks colleagues.
Hope this helps!

How can i remove write protection from a Hard drive

Cant write to HDD on win7 keeps saying "the disk is write protected" Drive is in a removable IDE caddy, I put the drive in a USB caddy and was able to format the drive, but still get the same error when i try to write to it, I took ownership of the drive and it shows me as the owner. The drive was used in XP previously but i no longer have an XP system since upgrading to Win7. I have removed the partition with Paragon drive copy and re partitioned the drive, renamed the drive but still gives the same error.

I used succesfully diskpart (on my Windows 7).
In "Command prompt" (Start -> Run -> cmd) type "diskpart" and press enter.
(I wrote "cmd" and then on right click menu I clicked on "Run as administrator").
In diskpart utility (in the same dos window) you have to type "list volume".
You can see your disk (I see all my 4 partitions on the disk that give me the problem) with a progressive number index.
Type "select volume #" and press enter, "#" is the number corresponding to your disk/partition.
Wait the response.
Then type "attributes disk clear readonly" and wait (I wait 2/3 minutes) for the result.
It says that operation was completed, and I can write on my partitions (and run checking/scanning on it).
Hi,
The hard drive I had problems with had 3 partitions and at least one was write-protected. Just to make sure I used the above "diskpart" commands on each volume and it cleared the write-protected attributes and was able to format the 10Gb partition I used
just for storing the Pagefile.sys file.
The write-protect attribute on this WD AV 1Tb h/drive may have been added as it was previously used in my Foxtel IQ box. I used Ghost 11.5.1 to clone my failing WD 1Tb h/drive that had 1376 delays and 50 bad sectors when scanned with HDD Regenerator
onto the previously used Foxtel IQ h/drive.
Cheerz ;)
Thanks again, I was pulling my hair out to find a solution.

Hi tessiebest
Is memory card in SD adapter in card reader on your PC, as there is a little slider on the SD adapter which you can slide to "lock" write protect?
You can also "password protect" a memory card in your phone.

Write protected USB HD

I have quite a problem.
My sister bought a new Macbook a few weeks ago. She has never used a mac before. Now she went off to ecuador (only phone no i-net).
Now she is experiencing the following problem.
When she attaches her USB harddrive to her macbook it is read only.
How do i change this?
The USB drive has been formated in NTFS. If it is not possible to change the settings would a formatting help?
Mac Book Mac OS X (10.4.9) Harddrive
Mac Book Mac OS X (10.4.9) write protected

Hi Nils.SH
NTFS is the Windows native file format and for Mac it is Read only.
You can use Disk Utility to reformat the USB drive to
MS-DOS (FAT 32) where both Mac and Windows can read and write to it or
HFS+ which is the Mac OS X native format. Windows cannot see this native Mac format at all, not even read.
Disk Utility can be found in Application/Utilities.

Ipod Nano sync error : Hard disk write protected

I have a 2nd gen IPod nano 4 GB. I had Itunes 7.1 installed on my PC when I last synced. A week later my disk crashed and in the new disk I installed Itunes 7.2. When I tried to sync, I get a error message which says " disk is write protected. Please remove write protect and sync again "
Can someone help

No, you can use a third party program like Yamipod, or XPlay2, etc. But I would advise you to download iTunes anyhow, even if you have to go to another computer and then burn it to a CD or something.

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!

What happened? How to resume using my USB Flash Drive normally? I'm running a mini 311c on XP SP3.

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)
Applicable for PNY/HP 4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB flash drive products

Windows and Mac OS format utilities seem not to handle correctly the USB flash card correctly.Mac OS says there's a 16 GB drive mounted on an USB support. I can unmount the volume without eject the USB connection. hp: Please mention this solution on the FAQ! Best regards,

Creative Zen 8GB - Can't delete certain files (Write Protected it sa

I have added a bunch of mp3s, images and videos to my player, but now when I try to delete some of these files I get a "you can't delete this file because it's write protected", if I check the properties of such files they are infact write protected but there's no way for me to uncheck the box and make them deletable.
Anyone with the same problem or with a handy solution?
P.S. I updated already to the latest firmware.

Yes; I got my Zen this week and had the same problem when I copied over some MP3 files from a CD-ROM, which are write protected when the CD-ROM is created. I thought that the Zen was defecti've but now feel this is either a programmers misunderstanding of Windows Read Only functionality in the Zen -or- when you protect a file from deletion within the Zen, this is what the firmware sets to flag the file as 'Protected (I have not researched this yet).
My Fix: For some of you this will not be the answer you are looking for but it works and will kept your Zen music file structure and library intact.
You may need to switch to MTP mode in the creative software before you are allowed to use this technique. Search the forum where to find this checkbox. Otherwise your XP may be able to nati'vely open Explorer windows to the Zen.
Setup: Open two Windows Explorer windows on your desktop. In one, create a new folder on a hard dri've that has enough space to handle all the music files on your Zen. In another Explorer window, navigate to the Zen music folder.
1. Use Windows Explorer to copy ALL of your music files From the Zen to a new folder on your computer's hard dri've. If you don't have enough room on your hard dri've (and if not, why don't you? ) move files in stages.
2. When the files are in your hard dri've's folder, right-click on the new folder and select Properties. Deselect (Uncheck) the Read Only attribute checkbox. If another dialog is displayed, select "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" and click 'OK'. This will make all your files deletable on the Zen.
3. Copy (drag) all the files back to your Zen, overwriting the original files.
That's it. In the future perform step two before copying any files to the Zen.
