Check the little white switch on the side of the memory card. That is the write protection switch. Turn it to the off position and try formatting again.

The DA5 works with SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible and will not work. You have to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

When i try to format my micro sd card system shows remove write protect how can i format it

Hi, i have here a photo that will show you on how to remove write protect on a micro SD.
1. You need to insert your micro SD into an adapter. 2. Unlock the micro SD through your adapter as shown below. 3. Once done, your micro SD is no longer write protected. eibraz_16.jpg

NOTE: The lock switch doesn't lock the micro SD into the adapter; The lock switch doesn't lock the data on the micro SD; The lock switch simply tells the "user" not to write. It just says "please, don't write me."
I hope this helps.

I am unable to copy files to my memory card the system is displaying the error as " disk is write protected "

1.Look for a switch or button on the side of the micro SD card or adapter. It might have a lock/unlock symbol on it. 2.Move the switch to the "Unlocked" position to remove write protection. This position may also be labeled "R/W" for read/write. If you have no switch, continue to Step 3. 3.Download and install Sony EzRecover (see Resources for link) and attempt to use it to format the card (this will erase all content). If this doesn't work, try Step 4. 4.Delete and repartition the micro SD card using Windows XP. Select "Control Panel" > "Administrative Tools" > "Disk Management." Select the micro SD drive and click "Delete." Right-click on empty drive and select "New Partition."

Dear sir, My 2GB Memory(micro SD Card) have not been formated i try to format that one see show massage operation failed how to i slove the problem i want soluation. Place: Chennai

Friend just try to format from the device you are using (ie from mobile, camera, or any other) This might be happen due to virus or some non supported format like in some mobile the format can be done in FAT,FAT32 or NTFS. But some computer os like window 7 also support EFAT. So this type of error is common. Your memory card might also be corrupt so replace your memory card as it might be in warranty as you are in an Indian environment i think so the San Disk gives 1 to 5 year warranty\ Guarantee so replace if it is corrupted.

My micro sd card when i plug say format but as i format it giving error of "Data write protected" but my micro sd card have no lock or other lock and the company of my sd card is Red bridge.Plz solve this...

Hello there!

Well somehow data on your usb flash is write protected, maybe before you locked part of your usb pen drive and losted that encryptor software on your usb.

Solution is next, find any software for formatting usb flash memory sticks, force format it and there you go. Thats about it! =)

Unlock 1 GB micro sd memory card

No, there is no other solution other than formatting the memory card. That is why passwords are dangerous friends. It should always be such that you can remember it without writing it down anywhere and not forget it.
