I have also tried formatting the drive with Windows Disk Management but it fails.

I have looked but there is no tab or switch on the USB drive to unlock orĭisable the write protect. I have tried formatting the My Book drive using File Explorer, but it tells me the drive is write protected. I don't know what's going on but all my files on my external western digital 'My Book' are marked as ' READ ONLY'.
