You need a suitable sd card card for your mobile phone.

it means that the memory card's sector is damaged by a virus infection...try to delete the files while in the mobile and then format it..if it agains appear the same then you've to buy a new card only

Make sure that the write-protect switch is off. There should be a tiny white lever you can slide from one direction to the other. It is very easy to flip it on accident.
