I connected that evil drive to my Ubuntu Server 14.04.I opened Microsoft's System Registry utility to force-allow write on the protected media, and just when I was about to start partying, I realized I failed once again. with Windows, I launched HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, as somebody has claimed it to have had success, but I ended up with a 'Device media is write-protected' error.again, I wasted some time with OS X and some built-in command-line tools (which I guess are just the command-line counterpart of the Disk Utility app).with Windows 10, I tried removing all partitions from the physical drive with the built-in Disk Manager and some other tools like EaseUS Partition Master.I also tried to change from MBR to GUID and vice-versa with no success. under OS X, I tried to initialize the physical drive several times with Apple's Disk Utility.Whenever I plug this device into a computer, there is a virtual CD unit that pops up called 'WD Unlocker', and I'm trying to remove it physically, instead of just hiding it (I found many guides on this, and by the way none of them worked).
