Remove Write Protection USB - xmann1 - Sep 28, 2013

Hi everybody,

Im new, hope im posting in the right section. I Have a usb flash drive that my school provided to me that has two partitions one is read-write, the other is read only, I tried everything from cmd, regedit, easeus partition manager, musbfixer, low level formatting, acronis disk director. It has no bad sectors or anything, the whole school was provided with the same usb. Now im suspicious about the usb so I would like to format it or remove write protection. I even tried safe mode with command prompt and formatting. The drive has no switch either to switch between write protection, I even took the case off. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks
