Can't write to storage card? A little help?

[AximMarkSD]

I was trying to put a movie on my storage card and I keep getting the message that 's write protected. I'm using a Micro SD from my AT&T 8525 w/ an SD adapter and my internal card reader on my Dell XPS desktop w/ Win XP.

Does it have anything to do w/ that it's a 400MB file i'm trying to copy. This is just frustrating.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Unrelated question: anyone know why i have the little fido.ca thing next to the american flag in the upper right corner of my posts? if you rest the mouse over it it says "Albania - Albania Mobile Comms" The funny thing is, I happen to be Albanian but I'm not sure how xda would know that.

Random - sorry.

That is a big file for the 8525, Still that does not explain the problem. I have seen this reported before, but I do not recall a solution. Theories about sector size etc etc.

You could try copying the contents of the SD temporarily to PC. Reformat the disk and try again. You could also try via active sync if you have a great deal of patience!
