Drive being recognized incorrectly as write protect.

    Drive being recognized incorrectly as write protect.

    Have posted this before but it seems the then solution is no longer working.

    Asus P5K mobo, 4G RAM, Intel Core2 Q6600 Quad Core (GO) CPU, Windows Vista
    Ultimate x64.

    I have a Western Digital 750G SATA2 HDD connected to the JMicron controller,
    as my third HD. Lately it has again become 'write protected', in that all
    the proper access permissions are available to all users, but you can't
    write/delete/modify the contents as Windows says the disk is write protected.
    The most recent driver is installed, and the controller is set as AHCI since
    the e-SATA port is also on this controller.



    What can I do to resolve the issue (I use this drive considerably and now
    cannot)?

    For some reason one of my hard drives has suddenly become write protected and I cant turn ot off.
    The atributes say I have full permission.

    Vista 64bit

    Any one got any solutions?
    1 of my drives randomly goes becomes write protected at random.
    In "Properties" all the attributes are fine, but it repetedly throws a dialoge box saying the drive is witre protected.

    Vista 64 Ultimate
    4 HDD

    Start your own thread. You piggybacked on someone else's.

    When you do, be very specific about your problem and fully describe
    your situation.
