Memory Card - Write Protected

[stokecity_m]

Hi,

I'm using a PC card reader to read all the files on my Memory cards.

It reads them fine but wont allow either writing to them or formatting.
Any idea why?

The switch is in the right place and it does it for all my different branded cards.

Hi,

That might be a good thing. I would never format the card out of the camera, always in.
If the card(s) are used in different bodies, they should be formatted every time.

but it also stop me writing to the card in the pc - so any RAW setting wont save
