"Media Device Is Write Protected"
« on: Wed, 18 December 2019, 03:57:57 »

I was attempting to use veracrypt to encrypt my disk. However, when creating a "rescuedisk" for my USB, it says "media device is write protected" - even when cmd says read-only is checked off.

Does anyone know solutions or alternative software, similar to veracrypt that is more trustworthy and open source, I can protect my PC with from theft?

how come your disk isn't decrypted by default?
