I recently purchased a Sandisk 4Gb microsd card for use with the Tytn II. The card works correctly on the Tytn. I wanted to transfer a large file to the card by means of the card reader sddr-113 that came with the card. I plugged the microsd card into the sd adapter, put the latter into the card reader, and plugged the card reader into the usb port of the PC.
On trying to write the file to the card an error message popped up saying the card was read-only. I double-checked that the read-only tab on the sd adapter was in the correct position to enable writing but the error persisted. I formatted the card on the Tytn but to no avail. Sandisk support does not list any known issues.
Knowing that several users have purchased a similar card for the Tytn II, has anyone encountered such problems, and is there any fix/workaround? Thanks.
EDIT: Note that there is no problem reading files from the card on the PC. Transfer speed in this case seems quite good. MY PC is WinXP.
You might check the microSD adapter. The adapters that are a std sized SD card have the small "read only" switch on the side of the card, you may have bumped it. Mine isn't even labeled, it should be switched forward, towards the gold contacts.
Good luck.

As I said, I checked that the read-only switch was in the right position. That said the adapter may be defective, and I'll try to put the microSd into another adapter. However any news from others with possible the same problem will serve to see if mine is an isolated case or not.
Oops, sorry, yup I'd try a different adapter, they're pretty cheap/fragile. I have only seen this once, on a friends card. The tip is that the native microSd card is writeable in another device so it really points to the adapter.
I am also experiencing this issue with the exact same card & adapter.

I had this problem as well. I later found that my PC wanted me to format the card when reading it with the adapter. Luckily my card didn't have anything important on it at the time. When I pulled the card to use it in my Tilt, the new device couldn't read it either.
I was able to use the card & adapter with a program found in a post on this forum to repair my corrupted card.

Using an HD mini, latest ROM 1.36.401.1 fitted with a 32GB memory card.
Phone syncs fine and I can copy files to the storage card using activesync but as this is very slow with larger files I've tried to use the disk drive mode.
Problem is that the file starts to copy and after a few minutes of transfer I get the error message "The Parameter is incorrect" After this I have to disconnect the phone and reconnect to be able to try again.
It was one of the reasons I bought the phone and added the memory was to be able to load on some video to watch. I use it for music files and sysnc these using media monkey with no problems at all.
Any idea's....?
I checked the HTC site but found nothing, I've also formatted the card in the phone in case it didn't like it being formatted in the PC.
I use a Sandisk 8GB Class 2 SDHC card, never experienced that kind of problem. But I have to say I never tried any files larger than around 1 GB.
What brand do you have? And how big are the files?
The card is unbranded and the video files are 80 - 170MB. I have some other cards so I can try one of them to see if this fixes the issue.
might be the usb data cable ,have you tryed another microusb cable ? or try to load files to microsd using sd-(usb)adapter and see if you still have this error
I tried another cable but the same thing. I've also tried a 1GB Sandisk card as well and that runs with no problems. This unbranded card claims SDHC but maybe it's not high enough quality for the HTC. Wouldn't be the first time a product rejects a certain media.
I've actually just ordered a new Sandisk 16GB class 4 card to try that one out. Should have it early next week and will report back what happens.
Ok, I think if you run a checkdisk on the 32GB card it will report errors. It could be a cheap clone from China, which are known to have quality issues.

Ordered from eBay but a supplier that sells them in original packaging plus gives a guarantee that they are originals.
So received a new 16GB card today, fitted to the phone, copied over some files, so far so good. But then TCPMP would not read the video files saying the MP3 codec is invalid and the other thing I notice is that the storage card is now called Card2. In explorer from the PC it shows two storage cards as:-
Storage card
Storage card2
I seem to be going backwards, powered the phone off/on numerous times, also with the card removed, reformated the card but can't stop it from seeing the card as card2.
Getting so pi$$ed off with this now.
OK a quick update, I fitted the original 1GB card, the phone recognised this as the first storage card and the card2 reference disappeared. I fitted the new 16GB one and all back to normal no card2 issue.
What I don't understand is how it happened and what changed it back. As I intend to load TomTom onto the card the last thing I want is this happening again in the middle of driving.
Never heard of this problem before. Can't think of a cause, maybe something with partitions on your SD card?
First of all, I am a newbie. I have searched the boards and can't find the answer.
I am trying to get my Nook Color back to stock so I can return to Barnes & Noble. When I tried to write the TWRP File to my SD Card, I received Error 19, media is write protected. I have formatted my SD card and keep getting the error.
Anyone know a solution?

Yes, I use the Adaptor to put the SD card into my laptop slot.
A) It's always better to use an external reader than a built-in slot
B) There should be a little slidey tab on the side of the SD adapter, slide it to it's other position.

I tried sliding it to the other position but it didn't make a difference. I bought a new SD card at lunch. I will try it tonight.
Seriously think about one of those $4.99 USB stick adapters as well. You'd be surprised. Just like the magic going to a Sandisk brand uSD card will do, going to an external reader will do the same.
About a year ago, my wife got an NC and I installed CM7 on a microSD card. She loves the NC/CM7 combo. A week ago, I got a NC for my birthday. But I cannot get write the image to the microSD card. Any and all help would be appreciated.
My problem is that when I try to write the image to the card (on Win7, using three different image writers), I get the error message that says "Error in writing disk Disk 1, error 5, access is denied." I have browsed all the threads and searched them. I have also searched the internet. It seems that the problem is that something else is accessing the microSD card, or at least the image writer thinks that that is true, and write access is denied.
I have browsed all the NC threads on this board and searched the internet. It seems that the most common response was to use a different image writer. I have used WinImage, Win32DiskImager and RoadKill. I get the same error message on all of them. I have tried to track down what program/process might be accessing the card, and haven't found any. (Based on my reading in this forum, I have made sure that no Explorer window is open.)
The only advice I've read which I haven't tried yet is to use an external card reader. I have an HP G62 laptop with a built-in card reader. (And it was this system which I used to mod my wife's NC, so I know that the hardware used to work.) I would really like to NOT buy an external card reader, which is why I'm trying to track this down.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Particularly, is there a way in Win7 to identify any programs/processes which are accessing the microSD card?
TIA
Doug
Why do you NOT want to buy an external card reader? It is most likely the cause of your issue. They are cheap (less than $5) and readily available. EBay has them for 99¢.
brand of the sdcard?

Since you are obviously using an SD adapter to be able to fit it into the PC card reader, that could be bad too. In fact some card adapters have a write protect switch on them to prevent accidental writing.
If you get an external micro card reader you can throw away that card adapter and have one less thing laying around.

Hmmm . . . I have gotten another microSD card (Sandisk 4gb Class 4); that didn't work -- got same error message. So I bought a microSD card reader. And I got the same error message. Win7 insists that something is accessing this microSD card at the same time I am trying to write the image onto it.
That just about exhausts the solutions I've come across in this forum and across the internet. So now back to the last question I asked in my original post:
Particularly, is there a way in Win7 to identify any programs/processes which are accessing the microSD card?
If there is a program/process accessing the card, I can terminate that process. Any help??

I have solved the problem, by seemingly breaking several "rules."
First, after inserting the microSD card into the onboard reader (nestled into its adapter), I then removed the card without properly ejecting it then reinserted it. Second, I then used WinImage to write the image onto the card using the "Write" command (after choosing the disc under the "Disk" menu and opening the image using "File/Open," I then used "Disk/Write"). Everything seemed to work as it should -- the progress bar incremented up until the files were written 100% and all seems to work fine on the Nook.

Thanks
Many thanks to leapinlar and Rastaviper for helping me through the process of getting this to work. I am now the proud owner of a NookColor which can be booted into CM7.2.

My Yoga Book always says that my SD card is missing and I need to reinstall it. I install it as part of the internal storage, this might be the issue. I have gone through three different brands, Samsung microsd card does not work at all for me. Simply will not read, says it is incompatible. The other two work for about a couple hours but then I will reboot and sudenly it will not read and say it is not inserted, when it is. So frustrating. Also when the microsd card is unreadable, I have the second issue of the Book not coming back on after it sleeps or when the screen times out. To get the screen to come back on I have to take out the microsd card and the screen will come right on, but than says " the is no sd card, please insert." Any one else having this issue? I really want to like this little machine but it seems REALLY underbaked.
I have an idea of what is happening with my cards. I have a very good Samsung microsd but the machine first said "This card is too slow" !!! I set up the microsd card as "internal" storage not media storage. Well, the Book formats the card, uses it but on reboot it looses the card and says the card is either "not in" or, the card is "not compatible". So I try to reformat but the Book will not format it and neither will my PC or any other device. I keep getting that the micro sd card is now "write protected" or "cannot format raw data", so now I have two expensive micro sd cards that are completely useless and I am very very upset. I have one other card I can try to use in the Book and format it as "media" instead of "internal" but Im afraid it might raw format it too and Im stuck. AAARRGGHH. Any ideas on how to re-format these micro sd cards?
Hi! Any update regarding the issue? Would be really glad to know if you have resolved it as I am currently experiencing something similar with my Yoga Book (Windows). I have a 128GB microsd and sometimes it suddenly stops recognising it. I've never had the too slow error though. My card was formatted using NTFS.
Wondering whether the card tray design is bad, and if the card gets displaced when moving around. I'll try another card, and will update this post later.
Android must be formatted to fat32, although the best way is to format it in a Android device like your phone if needed. Not sure about your other issues. Is there an update from Lenovo maybe. My card reader is just fine. #knockonwood

Sadly I ended up buying a new microsd card. My two cards that I started with are still un accessible and useless. I format it to Fat32 and inserted into the YogaBook and designated the card as media. It's been working great ever since. Still annoyed that I am out $100 worth of micro SD cards
Good luck to you. I have the Android version.

Hi! (In my case) I think it was due to the "thickness" or dimensions of the microSD. I had one that was slightly thicker than the original card I was using for the Yoga Book. I swapped them, and haven't had any problem since then. Sorry to hear that you had to shell out another $100. That really sucks. Mine was sheer luck. (Thanks to the added "chunk.")
Hope this bit of info will be useful for other YB owners.
Unfortunately I can confirm that ;/
In my case I observed the same...
I have a model with windows. It's EXTREMELY slow! Generally, no just the SD card. Almost impossible to work on it. Lenovo sucks!
According to the SC slot I've tried many different SD cards and always the same... Time of copying 2GB file, calculated by windows, about 672 hours... Only...
This is my second computer from Lenovo, and the last one.
If you're migrating files, try doing small amounts and copy not cut and paste. Otherwise just take the card out and do it on a more robust pc.

I'm using an SD card and it seems to be running fine. Are you using it for something that needs regular access to your SD card? Like, installing Windows or a program on it? Because that will make transferring to and from the SD card very slow, or at least a lot slower than what it would usually be. The technology in the Yoga Book's SD card slot is old, so it can't handle stressful situations.
Hi, Thanks for your answers,
My main HD has 64GB, its not a lot of, so I thought about changing location of My Documents and all my files on the SD card. But after setting of paths to SD the computer froze due to it couldn't read SD fast enough.
So, I decided to move my personal folders back and tried to move files manually.
But the situation is the same :/
Don't you think that transferring of files on the another computer to SD card has no sens??
It is needed for me to move files from YB to another computer, so while I can't do it than the SD slot and whole Yoga Book is totally useless for me.
Do you think, guys, that it is possible to install Android on it?? There is a possibility to boot from the external USB-CD or just USB, but I couldn't find the Android version for YB.
Maybe with Android it will work??
Did someone of you tried to do it??

I did delete Windows 10 and try install Android, however, I was not successful in getting it usable. So right now, Android is a no-go for those who have the Windows 10 version (although, you can install emulators that allow you to run Android apps). I usually try to minimise how many things I have on my Yoga Book - keeping apps to a minimum, and I've got my Downloads and Documents on my SD card and it's fine. Maybe your SD card is an old one?
Believe me, I've tried all possibilities, which came to my head
I bought three different SD cards (actually I have SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-II, 128GB, formated in exFat) and nothing.
I tried also to run linux, and I noticed a small difference in relation to Win10, that in linux the copying process is pending all the time, while Win10 is breaking the process every time and ordering me remove the write protection.
Hi guys,
I found a solution!!!
I don't know why, but I created two 64GB partitions (almost, just 50% and 50%) on the card and formatted as a fat32 and.... Suddenly it works!
Thanks for your attention!

Yes, I use a Samsung 256GB micro SD card fine in my YB. Insert it and format it using the YB and it'll format it as FAT32. Only problem with that is I need to convert/compress my larger than 4GB movie files to something smaller.

I bought a cheap 512GB sd card on eBay for less than $12 from China. I have stored tons of stuff on it. Downloaded a 1080p movie onto it using the adapter on my laptop and the lap top wanted to fix issues. It did, and everything still is fine. It actually might not be 512gb, but I have more than 200gb on it and it works fine - no speed issues at all. Android still reports 512gb total capacity (499 gb). I couldn't be happier with the $12 spent.

Though my laptop read both the cards (and my laptop has a SD card slot) but none of my phones or my tablet did. So I was wondering if one plus 5 has the support to read the memory cards.

Well, it has support for USB OTG (on the go), and I have tested the USB OTG with a USB C OTG flash drive and it did work. You have to enable it in the settings first, and I can't get TWRP to see it, but it works fine in file browser apps.

Mine allows more than just sd cards - old school usb keys that aren't OTG, possibly HDD's/SSD's and other USB equipment.
If you just want micro sd cards though, that's a good idea....

I really need something that works, or some workaround, since I have 3 different cards, with lots of my music on them.
2 cards are exFat and one card is vFat, if that helps.
The Flash drive with the OTG cable works OK.

OK I have got it working now. I installed Total Commander file manager and that read my sd card. So now ES File Explorer also reads it. The thing is that I have to keep total commander installed, otherwise ---- Es File Explorer stops reading the card.
Yep, OTG seems to only allow the Stock file explorer toread the OTG devices, nice to know the workaround...
