how to remove write protected system on usb?

Question

i have deleted a usb disk using Gparted , and i am trying to create new disk using the unlocated space .. and i found this message

Can't write to /dev/sdb, because it is opened read-only.

Answer 1

Run the following commands:

sudo hdparm -r0 /dev/sdb
sudo umount /dev/sdb

Then go to Gparted and format the drive as FAT32.

Now it can be opened by Windows or any other operating system.
