I've seen many questions on USB stick drives being write protected and no solution has been offred.
Some solutions just imply doing changes to the register but that is not the case when the USN stick is write protected in every computer it is tried!

I suppose when a disk is read, some data is transferred to memory where the system knows if a drive is "write protected" or not.

A "write protected" USB stick seems completely lost for further usage because no formating, deletion or partition changes are allowed. I have the idea if the Drive attributes, stored in memory (not in the drive itself) could be changed then it would be possible to recover the frozen stick.

Any clever ideas on the subject?
