Write Protected When I try to delete the files Kingston 1GB SD Memory Card it says that The disk is write protected or insert other disk

  • hayinchan Jan 09, 2009

    I can't delete or format the Kingston SD memory card too because it keep saying it is "Write-protected". The slide is in unlock mode and I can only delete all photos from the memory card by the camera. Please advise what I can do. Thanks.

There should be a little sliding lever on the side of the card, one position locks the card and the other position unlocks it. If it is locked then it will be write protected.

I PURCHASED A KINGSTON MMC MOBILE SD CARD, AND INSERTED INTO THE SLOT OF MY PHONE AND WAS NOT ABLE STORED ANY DATA ON IT, SUGGESTING THAT MAY BE THERE IS A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH MY PHONE, SO I DECIDED TO...

SD cards allow you to store digital information; you can use SD cards with most electronic devices like digital cameras and computers.
An SD card will become write protected if the switch on the card is placed on the "Lock" position. This prevents any information on the card from being altered or deleted.
If you wish to add, delete or change any of the information, you must remove the write protection.
Remove the SD card from the computer or digital device.
Locate a switch on the bottom or side of the SD card.
Move the switch to the "Unlocked" position to remove the write protection.
If you do not have a switch, you will need to remove the write protection with your computer.
Insert the SD card into your computer's card reader or back into the digital device.
You can now save and change information on the card.

I have 1gb kingston microsd card not opened tell password now.plse tell me master password

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.

Write protection

The slide on the card actually allows a switch to activate on the inside of the player/recorder. If changing the position of the slide on the memory stick has no effect, look at the microswitch inside the machine next.
