Hi PLUGgers,

I have this very irritating problem.  I have an 512MB SD memory card that I
use with my digital camera for more than two years now, which sometimes I
also use to transfer some data between PCs.  So normally, I am able also to
delete files in my SD card.  By the way, to connect it to my Linux (Kubuntu
Edgy and Feisty) machines I've always used my 9-in-1 USB card reader.

Recently, I got a new mobile phone and with it a 1GB Toshiba MicroSD card.
There's a MicroSD-to-MiniSD-to-SD card adapter and I used it to be able to
connect the MicroSD card into the SD card slot of the 9-in-1 card reader.
Strangely, this 1GB MicroSD card is write-protected when viewed from the
Linux box even if the MicroSD adapter write-lock is not set.  So only the
mobile phone could write to it.  Now when I use my 512MB SD card with the
same slot of the 9-in-1 card reader, the 512MB is now also mounted as
write-protected!

Could somebody kind explain to me how this write protection works and how I
could make both cards writable from my linux boxes?  (Or at least make my
512MB SD card writable again?)

Thanks in advance,
Allister
