How do you remove write protection from a micro SD card with transflash adapter?There are solutions (see below) It seems different people are having different issues with write protection on the MicroSD card. These range from total inability to read from or write to it, re-formatting, to selective file type transfer problems. Errors like 'Access denied, disk full or write-protected' are encountered when trying to copy or move files to another location.

Some find that a 2Gb card is recognised only as 1Gb in the phone.

Reading posts in many forums, there are definitely many issues with these cards.

I bought a Nokia 6300 recently with a 128Mb card. It works fine in both the phone and a PC (Windows XP) using the supplied adaptor, but as it was too small for music and video storage, I decided to upgrade.

I bought a 1Gb card and attempted to copy everything including my own music and video clips, plus the Nokia folders (screensavers, themes, software programs etc.) onto it, using a USB cable or Bluetooth, with the Nokia Data Suite supplied, or onto my PC hard disk using Explorer.

I could not copy most of the Nokia 'proprietary' files anywhere, as they are read only and write-protected, but media files and folders presented no problem.

I have read (and seen) that the adaptor for the MicroSD has a sliding lock on it. Mine was not engaged, and I have two of them, but that could be the reason for some people's read write problems.

After several hours of research, I discovered that there is a way that developers can protect their programs on the newer, smaller SD cards by incorporating encrypted write protection and I suspect that this is why certain files and folders cannot be copied by any regular means.

Nobody seems to be admitting that they are doing this, especially Nokia, so there is no current solution, but it seems unfair that a genuine purchaser of a standard phone cannot upgrade fully to a larger capacity card.

I later found this page with a step-by-step solution:

Since writing this I notice that by early 2013, there had been over 210,000 visitors to that page, an indication of just how many people have problems with SD and microSD cards.

Suppose you haven't created a customized MMC yet.How would you start the MMC?

To start a customized Microsoft Management Console (MMC), first, open the Run dialog by pressing Windows + R, then type "mmc" and hit Enter. Once the MMC console is open, go to the "File" menu and select "Add/Remove Snap-in." From there, choose the desired snap-ins you want to include in your console, add them, and arrange them as needed. Finally, save your customized MMC by selecting "File" and then "Save As," giving it a name and location for future use.
