Hi, I Have a Seagate 1 TB USB mechanical hard drive. It has either a corrupted partitions or they are Linux partitions. I don't know how to tell. On my Windows machine, in Disk Management, I try to delete one of the partitions, after taking the drive offline, and it gives the error: "The media is write-protected." Anyone know what kind of tool I can use to un-write-protect the drive? SOLUTION: Use the "diskpart" command line tool in Windows to remove the write protection. Simple.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
