I purchased a sandisk 2gb sd card today but I can't transfer anything to it - I get a message that the card is write protected - how do I un-protect 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.

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.

Most SD memory cards have a small slide switch on the edge off the card. This switch is used to write ptotect the data on the SD card - you can lock or unlock the SD card be sliding this switch.

Try formatting the card. It may have some bad memory sectors that can be cured by a good format.

i had same problem..couldn't solve it with tape over the lock switch and many other ways.. so i purchased a usb card reader (about $5 max) and now it works fine!...just make sure the lock is off!

micro sd card have a little switch on the side, move the switch to its other position to enable disk-writing
