  Try the drive in another computer.  If both report errors such as "write-protected" then it is very likely the drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

• I can't copy or move pictures due to the write protection. One caveat comes up saying I need to remove the write protection or use another disk. Help!

  I downloaded pictures from my Samsung Solstice, but it's as if they did not download properly. I can see them as thumbnails, but can't see a preview of each. Thought that I could copy to a memory card and try to print but unable to move or copy at all.

  It does not sound like they did not download properly, maybe you have just shortcuts to the location of the camera on your pc.
  Try to download again.

• How to detect the write-protected SD card

  Hi all

  I couldn't find the answer to my question, so I started a new thread.

  Problem: I would like to as for Labview (or directly TestStand) detect programmatically whether an SD card (secure digital) card has the "write protection" slider switch active.

  Is it possible somehow?

  PS: I also couldn't find this information anywhere in Windows 7 as well. I use LV 2011 SP1.

  PPS: For the moment I'm trying to create a file on the SD card and detect the clerical error, telling me whether or not the card is protected. But I would like a more elegant solution.

  Wow, it's already here for Labview: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2048

  All you have to do (I hope) is to analyse this value 'flags '!

• Remove the address bar in Windows 7 Explorer

  Hello

  I'm trying to completely remove the address bar in Windows 7 during the exploration of the files. I spent most of the day looking for a way to do this without success. I found the NoNavBar and NoAddressBar registry settings, but those that appear to work only for older versions of windows and I found a way to disable the breadcrumbs, but I want to remove the bar completely. Does anyone know of the registry tweak or the file that I needed to change it before you completely remove? In Windows XP , it's as simple as unchecking the box to the address at the top bar.

  Blessings.
  

  Hi Mattya2006,

  You can not delete the address bar of Windows Explorer for Windows 7, this is the design.

  You can use your favorite search engine to find any third-party tool that will help you accomplish what you want.

  Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Internal hard drive has all of a sudden the write Protection

  Hello

  My internal hard drive has suddenly developed the write protection and has resisted each of my attempts to change this. I found issues related to external hard drives, but have not met a subject that bears on the disk system hard to develop this problem.

  The last State of operational activities that are known:

  My main hard drive read/write functions were fine the day before. The only things I did today were the usual activities like browsing the web, watching videos, etc.. The only thing I did of note has been download a Steam game, which required the U-Play from Ubisoft. I installed the game and U-Play, so the game went very well. Then I played another game of steam which does not need U-Play, then attempts to transfer files on a USB key.

  Steps taken to solve the problem:

  When you try to transfer files, warning "the disk is write protected" appears. I thought that it odd, as I had never met this caveat on this PC before. I discovered that all the files in the C drive have been suddenly write protected. My attempts to solve this problem include:

  • Deactivation of 'Read only' file level and folder settings. The settings app doesn't seem to be a problem, but the moving folder gave the warning and she returned to "read only".
  • What allows all permissions for the users and system Admins for drive C properties > Security (I found it odd that users have all permissions, when I clearly remember all the usual permissions enabled previously)
  • Reboot/boot scan running for drive C to properties error checking > tools > error checking, which reported no error.
  • Opened as administrator command prompt and entering 'diskpart', 'list volume', "select volume #', disk clear readonly attribute, readonly attributes volume clear." The clear drive has reported a failure, while the clear volume reported a success.

  None of these steps have managed to solve the question of write protection. Might this problem be possibly related to the downloaded game, or the program U-Play from Ubisoft? Is there something that I missed? What can I do else? I have documents and files that have not been backed up, but I don't want to lose.

  Thank you for reading, any help would be appreciated!

  I'm really sorry for your time. The culprit is revealed to be the key USB is write-protected, not the drive internal (phew!). I guess I panicked a bit and don't think to test with another stick of memory, which transferred files very well. Problem solved, I'll just reformat the wobbly flash drive.

  Thank you for sticking with it, even when I probably don't have too much sense, you have been very helpful and patient.
