I run the fsck command and even booted by PC in recovery mode. I still can't change the write protection.

Need help here.

  • Clarify. What is write protected exactly? Show output of mount and cat /etc/fstab. How did you run fsck and what did it tell you?

If your write-protect issue is because of software's problems the low level utilities like hdparm can solve your issue:

sudo hdparm -r0 /dev/sda5

But if you can't write on your hdd because of somethings like stress ‚ fire ‚strike ‚ ... (Physically write-protected) We can't do any things.
