I have thrown very freakin' program I can think of to try and either change attributes, delete partition, ad nauseum.
The drive in question is a Kingston Data Traveler 100 G3 32gb.
I have completed a surface test, "no errors found" so that rules that out.
I used this drive to install "Adobe Photoshop 2025 v26.11.0 (x64)\HaxNode" so I guess it's possible that may have fouled up the drive.
There is no physical write protection switch on the drive.

What's going on? It's driving me whacky! :eek:
