"write protected " drive

Guest

I am attempting to load mp3 files onto a card reader (usb cable) but I keep
getting the error message that the removable drive is "write protected" &
unable to transfer the file to the new folder. How do I change this setting?

Some of these have a physical lock that you need to change, I guess
there hard to see.

Not it, then load the autorun.ini file from the device into notepad
and see what it's running when you plug it in.

Check for a DIP switch on the edge of the card itself. Odds are that's set
to the Read-Only position, and if you flip it, it'll be back in Read/Write.
