I had an SSD fail in my workstation computer and that failure caused a series of Windows errors that were only resolved by removing the failed SSD, reinstalling Windows 10, reformatting the system drive (two Samsung 850 Pro SSD's in Raid 0). It took three attempts at reinstalling Windows to get the errors to go away--what a pain! Now to my ProSeries problem:

I am attempting to reinstall my last 3 years ProSeries programs, but when I run the Workstation install I get an error that says the media is write protected. I've tried all the so-called solutions found on the web from running Diskpart, editing the registry, clearing the read only check box on File Manager properties for each folder, enabled all users for Full Control in the drive or folder's Security tab, and none of them work. When I try listing the details of my C: drive from Diskpart it says it is not write protected, but I still can't install ProSeries. I suspect it is the new install of Windows 10 that is causing the problem. I've had this happen before and don't recall what I did to clear it, but it's back.

I'm the only user on this PC and am the Administrator. Even if I right-click on the Workstation Setup program and "Run as Administrator" it still doesn't work. ProSeries may be telling me it is the Server drive that is write only, but if it is, it's my local PC that's causing that as other PC's in my workgroup can read and write to the mapped server drives.

Does anyone know how to clear the Microsuck Read-Only Cluster fluff error?
