extFS Windows - ERROR: Volume is write protected
I have an 8GB SD card partitioned as FAT32 & EXT4
Paragon ExtFS in Windows says the EXT4 volume is write protected, but Linux says it is not
(and I can copy files to it on both platforms)
_______
VERIFY WITH AUTOMATIC REPAIR RETURNS THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
"Verify completed with errors"
e2fsck -y -f /dev/sdd2
Disk write-protected; use the -n option to do a read-only check of the device.
exit_code = 8
_______
VERIFY IN READ ONLY MODE RETURNS THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
e2fsck -n -f /dev/sdd2
Possibly non-existent device?
exit_code = 8
_______
- Also in Paragon ExtFS the disk state is shown as "corrupted" but fsck on Linux says it is clean
- Both volumes will mount and can be used in Windows
What is going on ; seems like a software bug

Hi,
Please check the disk in diskpart as folows: run Cmd.exe with administrator privileges.
Now, type the following, pressing Enter after each command:
diskpart
list disk
select disk x (where x is the number of your USB drive - use the capacity to work out which one it is)
attributes disk
If it`s read only, type the command:
attributes disk clear readonly
