Then type Diskpart >
To list all the available Disks, type List Disks. You will see all the drives listed with a number ID. So the flashdrive might be Disk 3, or whatever.
Now type Select Disk # (whatever the flashdrive # is)
Now type Attributes clear readonly.
Now type Exit, to leave the diskpart applet
That should do it.
