This is one of my oldest flash drive and I just saw it today on my cabinet after years past. But when I inserted the FD on my computer this is the problem appeared. I tried disk part and use attributes readonly for it, failed. Also tried working on storagepolicies registry, no success too.

You guys might have an answer or a solution for this problem. Thank you in advance!

I use SD Card Formatter, it's a soft developed by Tuxera and given for free by SD Association.
Restores cards and pen drives to former glory beautifully.

I think there's no fix for this drive of mine now.
I definitely tried everything from different sources and given solutions from here, no luck for me.

Bye now old flash drive.
Thank you everyone and from this

Most USB thumb drives have a write-protect switch, often on the side. With old USB devices and over time, this may get stuck or damaged to the lock position. Just give that a try since you tried everything else.
