All Your Base Are Belong To Us — The Kip Lange Homepage

If you get the titled error (“Media is write protected”) out of nowhere and it’s driving you nuts, try the following:

Hit Windows-R and bring up the Run dialog box.

Type “cmd” in the box and watch the DOS-like screen pop up.

Type “diskpart” in the DOS-like window.

Next, select the volume you’re having troubles with (i.e. “select volume C”).

After it’s been selected, type:

“attributes volume clear readonly”

Give it a second, and that should do it. You should now be able to set permissions as you like on the selected volume.
