Hi guys. Whenever I try to format or manipulate files in any way on a CF card in Windows, I'm told the medium is write protected. However when using the same card with other devices I've no problem whatsoever. As I'm quite a newbie when it comes to Card readers, anyone any suggestions as to why this is?
