I have a USB Stick that seems to be write-protected. I already searched and tried a lot of solutions, but they don't work for me. E.g. I tried:
hdparm -r0 /dev/sdb
but that does not change anything.
badblocks –v
did not show any errors on the disk. Also gparted or the disk-utiliy tool could not make the usb stick work again. In gparted it says I have to create a partition table first, but when I do it it gives me an input/output error and tells me it is an unkown partition table.
I also tried it with Windows, but that was also not successful. Does anyone have other ideas how to make the USB stick writeable again?
