Re: Cannot write to drive "Media is write protected"




I was having this same issue when I was using Windows XP x64 and I'm
having it now with Windows Vista Ultimate x64. I have six internal hard
drives and seven external hard drives and it seems like in my testing
that the last one or two drives that show up in the OS are the ones that
invariably come up write-protected. I'm pretty sure its a 64-bit bug.
Does anyone have a solution yet? I'm seriously considering writing a
script to run on login that will automatically remove the write
protection. This is driving me insane not to mention causing me to have
to unplug and replug my drives unnecessarily to get them usable again.
Is Microsoft listening? Hello, is this thin on?
