As a newbie can anyone help please?

For some reason whether it be locked or unlocked even....... I am unable to
gain access to the Kingston SD cards that I have and format them using a
multi card reader due to write protection being on.

Is it possible for the PDA to write protect without one knowing....... if
not what could I have done via the PDA to write protect? How do I remove the
write protect?

I use a MITAC 168 DIGI WALKER WITH Pocket Windows 2003, this eems to be
straight forward and also on the cards it has folders on there which I never
created........ one of which is "ignore my documents"

Can anyone tell me if they have had any problems like that, and also which
in their opinion is the easiest way to get the cards formatted?

Many thanks and a very happy 2006 to all......... I move to Spain in the
next couple of months.

Try to get a cardreader (if you don't already have) and format it.

Mostly the formatting helps and solves these kind of problems.

Hi Peter,

Tksvm for the help......... managed to sort it and format via simple TRUST
multi-card reader....... don't know why the card went up the duff in first
place, so my mate has copied a cd with all the details on it.

My GPS Europe maps were installed on the second card and yet they had just
"disappeared".

But thank you for your help.

Regards for 2006
