Valerie, SD cards are not unlike the old floppy discs, they have a write protect slider tab on the side which I suspect you may have inadvertantly moved whilst you were handling the card. if you eject the card from the stream and hold it so the diagonal cut off corner is on the bottom left then the slide write protect is on the right hand edge towards the bottom. In order to unprotect the card the slide tab should be fully towards the bottom edge of the card i.e towards you. It may be a bit tight but with practice you'll soon get the hang of it. Hope this helps. Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: valerie pickles To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 2:53 PM Subject: [access-uk] SD card Hi all. I'm using an SD card in my Victor Stream and for some reason it has suddenly become write protected. I haven't a clue why this has happened as I've been using it normally since I got it. Can anyone tell me how to unprotect it? Obviously I can't transfer anything on to the Stream or delete anything whilst the SD card is write protected. Any assistance would be appreciated.
