I guess you get the answer from fellow members  :-+, If not-
no need to worry about this. There are many recovery software online you may order one   :popcorn: ;)

SD cards do have lock switches, and I suppose if that's all you need to keep yourself from wiping your install drive, so be it, but the solution here is to just pay attention to what you're formatting before you format it, as next time it might not be your USB stick it might be some other random drive in the machine that has data far more annoying to replace.

A hardware write protect is also useful to prevent malware altering the contents.

Raj:
try SD write protect using software lock-https://hackaday.com/2013/11/27/update-sd-card-locker-now-supports-password-protect/
or
get a dvd drive

Mr. Scram:
The KISS solution may be using an external CD drive with the software on a CD-ROM.
