Card Reader Problem

Cryption · 2 May 2014 at 16:08

Hi first sorry if this is posted in the wrong section but I just got my Akasa Internal Media Card Reader (AK-ICR-07) and when I plug in a micro sd card into the slot, it keeps saying it's write protected (can't delete/ format card). I have tried three different cards and still the same.

But when I use a normal SD card in it there is no write protection, in which can delete stuff on it.

Can someone please help me out with this issue.

Thanks

Try reinstalling the card reader. Is it plug and play?
Check it's all plugged in properly.

If you have a micro sd card to full size sd card adapter try that and make sure the right protect on the adapter is set to write. Try that as a test maybe it can't tell if the micro sd card is write protected by the little notch it has.

1. Start > Run > cmd
2. type "diskpart" -> runs diskpart.exe from system folder
3. type "list volume" -> now you see all your connected drives, see which one is the drive
4. type "select volume #" -> # being the letter of your drive
5. type "attributes disk clear readonly" -> removing the protection
6. Then open your SD, you can now edit, delete, move files.

From here

Hi sorry for the slow reply, I have checked the connection and it is all in correctly.

"ExRayTed" I have tried what you've said but I still get the write protection message.

"Purgatory" When I connect the micro sd to the full size sd connector, I am able to delete and copy.
