How do you write protect a USB since the latest Windows deletes Linux Mint.
How do you write protect a USB since the latest Windows deletes Linux Mint.
The new versions defender deletes my Yumi USB's very annoying. Since the Yumi's cannot fit on DVD's I need to write protect them and hope this will work. My Yumi's have The latest Windows 10, Windows 7, Linux Mint 19.2, Gparted and Supergrub2 so you can delete Windows when it gets infected and reinstall recovering grub. I have to use Windows to write protect them but I need to know how to do it with Mint. Thanks |
windows usually does not care about any other OS installations and will make them unavailable.
Probably you can recover it somehow (like reconfigure grub). But anyway you need to give us much more information. You cannot write protect a device if you want to install a windows on it. You can remove that usb stick if not required for the installation of windows. |

The new Windows does care that is the problem. Only want to write protect a USB in Linux. It is obvious you cannot install if it is write protected. That is the whole point. |

Anything software can do software can undo again, so there's no software write protect |

I know it is safe when the Defender is switched off. Though one chap had an anti virus which was switched off and it completely erased the USB anyway. Thanks |

Well, hopefully "Some of the other protection" is configurable enough to add an exception for your usb stick(s). |

I still have no any idea about what do you want to solve.
