SD problem

I got a problem with my Dikom 512 SD card...

It's about 2-3 days i cannot copy or delete nothing using usb card reader.
Every time i try, windows pop up me the error "disk is protected from writing" (or something similar, i got the italian version). XP shows anything on CARD with the "read only" attribute.

I've already tried with some other SD/MMC, but the problem not occur.

It seems like the SENDO lock the card with some kind of "protection", but i'm not able to find where this option is... :frown:

The very strange thing is that this problem comes only with an external USB card reader, FExplorer allow me to copy/delete what i want. 😮

I've not try to copy/delete something with PCConnect, if i find the time i'll try out this evening... I'll keep you updated.

Did someone have this kind of problem before?

Please help me, i got something like 200MB of OGG files that i cannot delete! I need free space!
ARGH!

Many thanks, guys!

Haven't you nothing to suggest me?

You can't change the read-only status on the PC via Properties I take it?

If all else fails, copy all contents to PC, reformat the card, then copy back just what you want.

It seems the card was not totally in "unlocked" position...
And i had check it out about 3 times before writing here... :redface:

Many thanks, Nik!
