20 Most Recent Kingston 1GB Secure Digital Memory Card Questions & Answers

Hi there, Try the following: 1. Click Start > type "regedit" and open "Registry Editor". 2. Now follow the below path after opening registry editor :- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/StorageDevicePolicies. 3. Now you will see "Write Protection" option. Double click on that and set the value data to '0'. After setting the value data to '0' again try copying or formatting your sd card. After performing the above step you are still not able to format your sd card then continue to next step. Open Command Prompt and type diskpart and press Enter key. After opening diskpart type "list disk" and again press Enter button. Now type "select disk 1".

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Do not format the drive. Try some photo recovery software to rescue the files on your digital memory card, here are some for your options.

Photo Recovery (for Windows)

Be careful: Before your pictures are recovered, do not attempt to save more files to the card in case the original files(your pictures) are overwritten.

In My Computer - Right click and format.

I can help. What is not the problem, is the position of the switch entirely. With the SD card Face up and the tiny white plastic switch on the left side, should be slid toward the card edge connector (the shortest side). I know you may have done this and it still doesn't work. Here's why, On the opposite side of the SD card from the switch, there is a tiny "Notch" cut out.

Place a piece of tape, masking, electrical, sometimes transparent will work. Be very precise in placing the tape over the notch, but not over the brass connector on the opposite side. Then place it in your card reader, format it, read and write files to your desire.

This is a little known issue with the design of all SD cards. The notch forces them to work in camera's, MP3 Players, PDA's, etc. that are portable devices, but not in USB card readers or computers with SD reader slots.

The card reader with the SD card has this extra built in feature to protect copyrights (for some reason on blank cards), and makes it useless for custom applications. Once you have "Unprotected" the SD card, installed your files, then remove the tape.

If you get the same error again after applying the tape, add a second layer. Double check that you did not cover the connection edge, and the plastic tab is closet to the side you insert in the device you are using.

Sometimes it takes several tries, but it will work with patience. If you have existing files on the SD card, insert it, right click, select properties. Then remove the "Read Only" check by the box and try to delete or add files then. If it says Disk Write Protected, then check the tape again.

Take no more pics until you've recovered your photos, take the card out of the camera. This is to reduce the chance of you overwriting some of your "lost" photos. There are many good freeware photo recovery software options that may help you recover your photos. This article reviews and outlines several of the better ones. Recommend that you try MiniTools listed on the site first.

Some have a small on off switch on the side make sure u have tried both ways.

Thank You

Check if the lock pin at the side of the SD is not set to lock.

There is a little slider on the right hand side of your memory card. If the slider is towards the bottom of the card the card is locked. When the slider is towards the top of the card your card is unlocked. So all you need to do is to slide the little slider towards the top of your memory card.

install proper driver

scan the pen drive

it is probally corrupted,try putting in your computer and see if the computer can fix it for you,or else you might have to format it but you loose all your data this way

If you are asking about the write protect tab on the sd card. When the tab is pushed up closest to the contacts it can be writen to, when you slide the tab down it is then write protected (read only)
If this is not what you meant, just write back

Hi,

Kingston does not distribute flash media with password protection. This password protection is a feature offered by most cell phones. To regain access, use the Lock Code assigned to the cell phone which your are using.

thanx
