You might have inadvertently slid the lock tab on the card. Which Sandisk reader are you using? I've been using the Sandisk ImageMate 12-in-1 USB 2.0 reader since Spring 2006. It's been extremely reliable for CF, SD and Memory Stick media. But there's always the possibility that whatever one you have could have a fault ... almost always the cable is the first suspect.
(I downloaded and installed the fw update last evening too. I was quite surprised to see that it preserved all my settings! Bravo, Pentax!)
