neolium12707y@NullnVoid I had never problems with formatting any device or card under mac. Reason why i cant understand what u mean^^ the write-protector-lock?
-
I do most of the formatting on Linux. Windows can be very incompliant regarding these things...
-
@NullnVoid i used it once but nowadays I usually just dd the image to the stick.

Addition: If I have to use Windows for creating a bootable usb drive I use diskpart (command line tool). It proved to be the most reliable method (in windows), but it's more of a hassle than dd, or course.
