Re: Write protection won't stop



I am experiencing the same problem with a WD 1TB notebook. It has become
very frustrating. When I first connected the EHD it worked perfectly then
all the sudden it was write protected. It's been about 7 days of it being
sometimes write protected sometimes not. I have uninstalled Norton AV
thinking
that was protecting it because it thought there was a virus on it. The EHD
was
scanned before and after problem. Detected no virus but I was trying
anything. I've used restore points sometimes they work for a power cycle,
sometimes two but it always write protects the drive sooner or later. I've
changed the owner to administrators, when it wasn't write protected and I was
able to, I've changed permissions to full control for everyone.
I'm about to set this CP on fire and send it back. Any help would be
GREATLY appreciated.

Hi again!
Thanks for trying to help me. I wasn't very clear in my last post; the
unknown error was when I tried to post my answer to you, not when trying to
remove the "rad only" tag from files/folders. :-)

I tried to run cmd.exe as administrator, and it sure was better, since I
didn't get any access denied errors. Unfortunately, though, I still have
problems. In Tag&Rename I still get the error shown at
http://www.soderstromsounds.se/error.jpg. Same thing in other programs who
tries to change files, i.e. Photoshop or even MS Word. Creating new files are
no problem, it's just changing existing ones which are a problem. And only on
F: (external hard drive, USB).

Hard nut to crack, but does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tobbe
