Can't delete photos or format form SDHC and SDXC

Postby Peru » Sat Dec 10, 2011 8:42 am

Windows XP MCE SP3

I have a 8GB SDHC and a 16GB SDXC card on which I have put photos.
The 8GB card had photos from a Fuji FinePix camera and a Canon Powershot camera. The 16GB had photos from the Canon only.

The photos can be opened just fine in my computer's internal card reader.
The switch is not set to protect.

I am unable to delete photos or folders from the cards in the computer, as I receive the "...is write protected..." error.

I am able to format the card in the Powershot camera, but would prefer to be able to delete the photos using the computer.

Can anybody recommend a solution?

the switch might be stuck. Try turning protect on then off and see if it works. Or maybe the switch orientation is backwards???

Checked that already.
Both are new cards.
