Question from a follower: How to remove write protection from usb flash drive which is set accidentally?

You can try this using Diskpart (for Windows):

Press Win + X and choose "Command Prompt (Admin)" or "PowerShell (Admin)" to open an elevated command prompt.

Exit the Diskpart utility by typing exit.
Registry Editor (for Windows):

You can also try using the registry editor, but you will need access to modify the registry key, we recommend to use the Disk Part option.

Press Win + R to open the Run dialog, type regedit, and press Enter.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies.
If the WriteProtect key exists, double-click it and set the value to 0. If the key doesn't exist, you may need to create it.
Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.

Question from a Follower, What is the NTLDR and his functions?

NTLDR (short for "NT Loader") is a crucial component in the Microsoft Windows operating system, specifically in versions prior to Windows Vista. NTLDR is responsible for loading and starting the Windows operating system. Here are its key functions:

Boot Loader: NTLDR is the initial program that starts when you turn on your computer. It resides in the system partition and plays a crucial role in the boot process.

Loading the OS Kernel: After being loaded into memory, NTLDR is responsible for loading the Windows NT kernel, which is the core part of the operating system. The kernel manages system resources, provides essential services, and interacts with hardware.

Detecting and Presenting OS Options: NTLDR can detect multiple installations of Windows on a system, and during the boot process, it presents users with a menu to choose which operating system they want to start if there are multiple installations.

NTLDR was a key component in Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and other earlier versions of the Windows operating system. However, with the release of Windows Vista and subsequent versions, the boot process was significantly redesigned, and NTLDR was replaced by a new bootloader called Boot Manager. Boot Manager uses Boot Configuration Data (BCD) instead of the older boot.ini file used by NTLDR.

Understanding NTLDR is particularly relevant if you are dealing with older systems or if you encounter boot-related issues on computers running Windows XP or earlier versions. Keep in mind that as technology advances, newer operating systems and boot processes supersede older ones, and the information provided here pertains to historical versions of Windows.
