I have a Sandsk USB3 flash drive that has become Read-only State. I have no idea how it became so. In order to fix this I load a Administrator Elevated command prompt and run Diskpart to clear it. The problem is that while the attributes are no longer read only the drive itself remains in a Read-only State?? There is no hardware switch on this flash drive. So how do I fix this? Thanks.
