This guide will help you fix this disk error with five simple troubleshooting steps.
Why can’t Windows run disk checking on this volume?
CHKDSK, the command-line utility, is used to check errors on a disk drive and possibly repair them. If any of the drives that you scanned comes with the CHKDSK write-protected error, these could be the reasons:
Your hard drive has a write protection tab, and it is enabled. The USB drive has a physical switch to set it to Read-Only, and it is turned on. Virus infection or hardware errors damaged the partition file system. The attribute of the drive is selected as Read-Only. Windows Registry Key value is incorrect.
Now that we know the situation, let us move on to the fixes.
What can I do if Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume?
1. Remove disk errors
chkdsk E:/f/r/x Note: E represents the drive letter; change it accordingly.
2. Remove Write Protection via Diskpart Command
3. Modify Read-Only settings in Registry Editor
