Problem with Write Protected Micro SD Card?
bluechang
13-05-2011
I have two Micro SD cards, an 8GB and a 4GB one. The 8GB one is in an LG P500 Android smartphone and the 4GB in a brand new Advent Vega tablet PC. I am planning on swapping the two cards over, but have stumbled upon a bit of a big problem.

The problem concerns the 8GB card in that when I have removed the card from the phone and into the PC to format the card - When I try to format it using the standard format program, it keeps telling me that the card is write protected.
The thing that has confused me though, is I am able to delete all the folders and files from the card but not be able to transfer files to the card.

Can anyone shed any light on what I can do to resolve this little issue of mine? if no-one can help, it means I need to buy another large capacity card (I have 3x4GB cards floating around, but only 1x8GB)

Many thanks

I should also add that IO have tried formatting the card in the phone, which is how I managed to delete the folders and files already one the phone (not before taking a copy on the PC - that is how I managed to delete them not as I mentioned in the above post (deleting myself on the PC)

I have even tried going into computer management to try and delete the partition, but that will not allow that either, so I'm a little stumped
