  I have a micro card.  I used to put photo files.  Today I'm trying to remove them and I get a message that the card is write protected.  How can I disable this?

  I guess you put the micro card in full-size SD card reader? Look on the side of the SD card. There is a small switch that is write protected. Put it to the other position.

  Hi Hari,

  Thanks for posting your query to the Microsoft forum. I will definitely help you with this.

  I would like to know;

  1. What is the brand and model of your computer?
  2. Do you have any pending updates?

  This happens usually if the SD card is locked. You can try the methods below and check.

  Method 1: Unlock the memory card.

  There is a switch lock on the left side of the SD card. Make sure the lock switch is dragging up (unlock position). You will not be able to edit or remove content on the card if it is locked.

  If the problem persists, follow method 2.

  Method 2: Remove the write protection depends on the source of the problem.

  The SD card has a tab on the side write protection which slipped down. This can happen when the card is inserted in the computer. Try to remove the card, push the rear tab in place and try to insert into the computer again. Read the manual provided with the SD card to help.

  If the problem persists, follow method 3.

  Method 3:

  a. Insert the memory stick into the computer

  b. go to desktop and under the gaze of devices with removable storage for your card reader

  c. right-click on it, and then click Properties

  d. in the pop up box, sometimes there is an option to remove the write protection. Change the State of this option, and then try again.

  Please post back with the results and the information requested, we will be happy to help you further.

• Dell XPS 8900 media card reader write protected: how to remove the protection?

  I use the card reader to write mp3 files on a micro-SD card to use in a small MP3. Until today, no problem. Now I get the error 'write protected' - and it is not because of the tab in the adapter SD being in the wrong position.

  There were a few quirks days when card readers are presented as explicit readers in this PC, but this phenomenon disappeared when I restarted the computer. I suspect that this may be related.

  Advice as to how do these ports without protection would be appreciated. Meanwhile, Plan B, using a to a USB external card reader works.

  Also: Run Windows 10 as originally installed on the computer.

  Phil

  The outcome: diskpart approach after trying and failing, I decided to try canned air in the slot for the fourth time (this is what I did the first time that the crack would not read and later that day).

  This time I gave him a dose really long and deep air under pressure. And voila, he now writes and reads.

  Sorry to take all this space on what turned out be a non-issue, or should have been.

  I have three other computers with media slots, two of them for close to three years, and no one has posted this question - as in my XPS 8900 after only three weeks of minimal use of niche.

  Guess never say never is a good adage.

  Hello 1 did you do changes on the computer before the show? 2. What is the full error message that you receive? Sorry to hear that.

• How to add data to a write-protected micro SD memory card

  original title: write protected disk

  my removable disk (f :)) is write-protected, so I can't put music on my micro SD memory card, how do I remove this then I'll be able to transfer my music from my android phone?)

  Use a MicroSD adapter. Hold the adapter and MicroSD card, so that you can read the labels, then insert actual MicroSD card into the adapter. On the adapter, usually towards the top left (opposite), you will see the word 'Lock' with a directional arrow. Press the very small sliding tab in the slot to the left of the card upward to remove the write protection of the adapter which will then remove the write protection on the card that you inserted in. When you're ready to protect your data, simply repeat back and forth the slotfacing downwards.

  I hope I could help

• 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.

  Hi ebugsasi,
   
  To remove protect him writing on a kingston Micro SD cards, locate a switch or button on the side of the micro SD adapter card. It will normally be a symbol of locking/unlocking on it. Put it to the unlocked position.
   
  This should remove the write-protection feature.
   
  Keep me updated on the status of the issue.

• HPE-470f built in SD card reader reads the cards as write protected

  WIN 7 Professional 64 bit, SP 1 and all the updates, latest Bios and drivers installed, HPE-470f

  The SD card reader to work properly.  Put it in any piece now, the camera sees the chip, reports that it needs to be formatted (not true) and when he tries, then says it cannot complete.  Displays the disk disk management is write protected.  I suspect the internal switch inside the drive is blocked or broken.

  have you tried: blowing the dust out of the drive, spray of contact cleaner in the device, try several chips (all of which work well in my cameras before and after trying in the HP drive.)

  Any suggestions?

  Apart from the drive of cleaning dust and spray contact cleaner in the drive, I have:

  1 uninstalled all USB devices in Device Manager and forced the system to reinstall everything.

  2 uninstall the drive itself in the Device Manager and forced the system to reinstall.

  3 tried several cards in the reader with similar results: the system sees the card, says it has to be formatted (it was already formatted in the camera).  Formatting attempts get an error that it cannot be completed.

  4. the program of HP, but it can not format the card to be downloaded.  Reports "unable to format the device.

  I've always used player soft and methods of ejecting device to remove cards.  I think that it is a loss with a broken read/write switch.  It's too hard getting the subassembly of legacy of the case card reader.  It takes almost a complete disassembly of the machine to get out.

  Thanks for trying to help.
