Anyone know a workaround on this? Been trying for days its pissing me off a bit. Any way to pass through the lock on the side? it is unlocked but still says the damn thing on.

See the switch on the side of the card?
Flip it.

Right. Like I said i insert it unlocked but it still wont let me copy anything.
Tried backing up and formatting? Even if formatting it doesn't do the job, your writes probably ran out and you can't do shit about it. Buying a new SD card is the only solution.

You can try this if you aren't concerned with keeping the contents:
Open a command prompt with administrator rights and enter the following sequence of commands:
diskpart
list disk
select disk {number}
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit

FYI, this will totally wipe the drive and its contents
>>91939
the drive meaning only the sd card will be affected?
>>91939
go to clean and its still write protected.
>>91942
Yes, if you select the sd card properly with diskpart that is.

got*
>>91942
Yes as long as you select the proper disk number. Compare the drive sizes listed and pick the one that is the flash drive and NOT your primary drive which usually the largest drive and first one (Disk 0) listed so again, DONT pick that one.
>>91946
Did you run the command prompt as admin?

Basically the memory chip wears out each time you save a file. SD cards, USB flash drives and SSDs suffer from this and there's no way to fix it backup your files and move it to another storage device. If you still have no idea what I'm talking about, try searching for "flash drives wear out".
damn. well that sucks. the main dumbass thing was that i bought this 2gb sd card last week and it this start off saying write protected but after a day or 2(?) it let me copy just some stuff. now i need just a bit more but after inserting it back to my pc is said write protected again.
