============================
There is much discussion about
this subject at the following links...
maybe you can get some useful
info from them:

SD Card Reader says
the card is write-protected

Good luck.

My writer problem thankyou all for youre help.I am using a Pure Media card
512.I tried taping up the card but no good I then found that the small white
"blob" next to where it says lock, actually moves so i moved it as far
forward as it will go and hey presto pictures are now flowing back to my card
..Thanks to all of you who sent in replies,it was a silly little problem but
also very annoying.How are we supposed to know ? I can now watch my photo
viewer display all my images.

You obviously never spent any time using floppy disks which have a write-protect
tab similar to what you found on your card.
