So I picked up a new 64 GB Kingston Data Traveller and I have no idea how it happened exactly but last night the drive became completely write protected and I just can't seem to fathom how to regain its use properly once more. I have tried Diskpart through admin but although it says the partition has been reverted back to normal upon using the drive it remains exactly the same. It also seems that Bitlocker may be causing some of the problem but I'm unsure exactly how. The drive is slow to repsond. Very slow. Even formatted it says there is an active partition taking up a small portion of the drive.
Obviously I've looked all over Google and watched a few videos but I'm starting to think that the current issue is seemingly irreversible as it may just be damaged. If however there is a chance to resolve it I'd fully appreciate some help you guys. Thanks in advance.
