Sd Card Woes

[kenb0y]

Hi all, just got a hold of a 4gb A-Data card, but i cannot format it.

when i try it says "The disk is write protected"

The switch is in write mode, and i have tried moving the slider up and down and keeping it in the middle, but nothing.

I've even tried putting tape over the switch, but the issue still remains.

Any way around this?

Sounds like the write protect arm is buggered in your reader which means only one solution - solder the bugger down

i had a simmilar problem, i first managed to get it working after deleteing some files from ti useing the gp2x, but than that didnt work anymore as well, so i formated it in my digi cam and now it works fine again.

i had a similar problem with mine, i had to format it with my digi cam, well no, not format, i took some pictures (write to it) then it let me format it in pc

Thanks for the help guys, i finally got it working!

I tried the camera format but that didn't go

As a last resort i tried formatting the old school way... DOS!

"format e: /FS:FAT32"

Now i'm watching season 2 of chapelle's show on it
