I am trying to remove the write protection, so I can remove and add games to a DSi game card.

Hello

Try putting a piece of tape on the write protect the area. Sometimes, you have to use so much that the
card will fit into the slot.

Sometimes you have to reformat the hard drive and it could be bad.

I hope this helps.

    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 '!

  • 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.

  • How to remove photographs write protection?

    I am trying to copy photos to my computer and the external hard drive on a SD card, and each photo is said is "write protected" and delete, or use another disk. He is a recent problem because until a few weeks I never had this problem at all. I am running Windows XP card SD is unlocked and I use a card reader on my Dell D610 laptop. My external hard drive has all my photos on it and I used it for years with no problems whatsoever, so I'm kind of confused as to why this is happening now.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Digital images that are 'Read only' can still
    be copied... they just cannot be changed and
    saved... so it's not the problem.

    I suspect that the problem may be due to the
    number of files that are copied in the
    the root directory of the SD card.

    This limit varies depending on the size of the
    card, but it is far from full capacity
    of the card.

    Normally, this generates a dialog box stating:
    "The file or directory could not be created.

    This can be overcome by placing the files
    in the files.

    (FWIW... you may need to delete some
    files to make room for folders)

    More info... to remove the read-only status
    from a digital photo, right click on the photo and

  • How can I remove a USB write protection

    my USB is write-protected how to remove it?

    Hello

    What operating system do you use?

    Write protection is a feature found on many different types of media. When the write protection is turned on, you will be able to view the information on the disc or USB key, but you won't be able to write or transfer information to it.

    Write protection is an element of protection which prevents accidental deletion of important data. Sometimes turning off the write protection is as simple as uncapping the USB key to find a manual switch. If your player lacks an external switch, the procedure requires a few steps to complete.

    (a) turn on your computer and plug the drive after that your operating system is loaded.

    (b) open 'My computer' and the list of readers of research until you find your USB drive letter

    (c) right click on the name, then click 'properties '. Browse the tabs until you see the option to remove the write protection. If this does not work, proceed to the next step.

    (d) visit the website of the company for your USB key. Go to the help or support section and search for "write protect".

    (e) search the Internet for software that will remove the write protection. Download the program and install it on your computer.

    (f) open the software. Follow the instructions to remove your USB write protection.

    I hope this helps.
