Hey all.
I've just found an old 64MB MicroSD card from my mom's old Nokia. I was really bored so I connected it to my PC with an adapter to see what's on it. There were only some music files, wallpapers, gamest an etc. that came pre-installed on the Nokia so I tried to format it. For some reason, it appears to be protected - won't allow writing files or formatting the disk. It's a MicroSD, it doesn't have that switch to toggle write protection. I tried a SD adapter, a USB adapter, my Sansa Fuze. The Fuze is the only that works[it's rockboxed].

Anyone knows how do I remove this protection?

Thanks, Mike.

You won't beleive it!
I just discovered that my USB adapter is broken and that every time I push the SD adapter in it pushes the switch back down, so it becomes write-protected[chinese product :c-thumbdown:]. I sanded the switch a little, and it woks fine now. I just formatted it.

There is no problem that cannot be solved by the use of high explosives.
