Hi folks, just bought a micro sd card and after a few uses it is now reporting that it is right protected and now not even showing as a volume in the list of drives, anything I can do about this? It's only a 4GB card so no great loss but I just wondered if there were a means to reverse the situation, thanks! Alistair not certain I would have the know how to do such a thing?
