    hey everyone,
    Im new here just tryin to get a post up to figure out what is wrong with my stuff. I have a Sandisk memory card(128 MB) that was working fine, but now when i go to copy things to it i get the message that it is "write-protected", any ideas how this could have happened or how to fix it?? Thanks for the help.

    Probably your card is protected by the lock feature. Take the card out of the memory read and look on the side (normally the left side when the card is facing right side up), and you'll see a little button that slides up and down.

    Similar to what you would find on 3 1/2 floppy, but instead of being on the backside, the lock feature is on the side.
