I'm trying to format a USB drive that came with my Anycubic Photon Mono 4, but I'm running into issues. Whenever I plug it in, I get prompted to format it. I go through the process, but then an error pops up stating that the drive is write-protected. I checked using Diskpart, and it says 'Write-Protected: No'. I'm not sure if this problem is related to the hardware or software. I really need to copy some crucial files from this drive to a new one. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

I’ve had similar issues with USB drives, and often, it’s a sign that the drive is on its way out. Try using a different computer to see if it recognizes the drive correctly. Also, you could try a data recovery software if you need to save the files. Just be careful about getting anything dodgy online. Good luck!
It sounds like your USB drive might be failing. Generally, USB drives don't have a physical write-protect switch, so if you're getting that message, there could be an underlying hardware issue. If you can access the files, I’d suggest copying them to another device as soon as possible. Also, check if your computer has any USB settings that might be causing this problem.
