Thread: Get rid of Write Protection from outer Hard disk

I have a former 80 GB outer hard disk which is recently giving a write security fault when I test to move information from the drive. I had not fix this choice. I had only copied few information form a windows vista PC and just I am testing to paste the information in windows xp. But the hard disk is giving fault of windows disc is write protected. Now I cannot move documents neither I can format the hard disk to get rid of this fault. What should I do here just now.

To get rid of the circumstance you will require to edit the windows registry document. This addition can be caused to a infection. First u can go to start menu and then click on run. Type regedit. In the registry editor windows go to documents menu and click on export. Save the file to a wanted location. This is because in case if there is any fault you can restore the registry file return again.

The circumstance can be disabled through right clicking on the outer hard disk. First link the hard disk and then open my computer. Right click on the hard disk and get rid of the tick from the assure box following to read only. Exit the properties box. Now test to move the information documents. Other wise there is a freeware tool named unlocker. This tool can be utilized to get rid of the save from the disk. Download unlocker and then only right click on the drive in my PC and choose unlock.

The lock can be opened and closed through individual command in cmd. Put in your drive and give the chdir command to position your hard drive. Then kind sys: on to enable the write save and sys: off to disable the write protection service. Too see your bios circumstances. Few bios have write protection circumstances. If it is enable then you have to invalid it from there.
