USB stick stuck in raw format and write protected

[KnightStalker]

Hi guys, been away for a while, but finally got back into computing (thank god)

So my Kingston Datatraveler 111 32gb has suddenly gone into Raw format and constantly says its write protected, but there is no switch on it, and no amount of cmd commands and trying to format the thing seems to bring it back.
Is it dead? or can it be ressurected, it was working fine 2 days as its my Windows 10 install stick.

It sounds like you need a new one. Hardly worth messing about with.

Fair enough, didnt know if it could be saved, ill get another ordered asap, thankfully it had nothing on it but win10

If it's under warranty, get it replaced. I know SanDisk have a good replacement procedure.

If diskpart can't wipe it, it's probably goosed.
