Because windows says that hard disk is protected against writing.
Any help please?
This is not related to the HD2 but to the SD itself, consult its manufacturer.
^That was a semi-joke.
But seriously, just format your sdcard and try again, or just buy a new one.

Then please "release the write protect switch" on the adaptor
Was your sdcard working prior to using it for Android? What was it used for before?

How to do it?
Yes, my SD card always worked with no trouble before.
are you using a Micro-SD adapter or do you put the Micro-SD directly to the Card reader?
I know years ago some of the small stuff like this seemed to get very annoying to figure out on my own. Oh and how to copy to the root of my SD card was a problem at 1st too lol.
The answer is rather simply though.There is a small lever on the adapter your using. Adjust it so it does not say write protected and you should be fine.
The adapter can get accidentally pushed in (very easily I might add) when inserting your card in and out of the computer or reader. This is why it could of been fine last week and now has caused some problems. Once you see it you'll understand why and how easy it is to overlook.

I'm copying largish files to my storage card (around 200MB) But the progress bar moves REALLY slowly, then gets to about 50%, then it starts over again.. then loops!
I've been copying smaller files (~10-20MB) with no problems whatsoever...
btw: do i HAVE to have activesync loaded to be able to access the storage card?
Any help appreciated, thanks
I could not find a way round this problem with activesync, hopefully someone else will help, I gave up and bought a USB2 universal card read/writer for less than a fiver, this is very quick and large files are no problem, also it plugs into the same lead used for the JasJar. Not sure where you are based, I bought from Ebuyer, good price on Viking 1Gb SD as well.
There is a utility called "WM5torage" available that turns your Universal into a card reader. You don't need AS for this but you do need an OS that will recognise a Mass Storage Device.
If you are giong to be transferring files this size regularly then go the card reader route, less wear and tear on the fragile USB port on the Uni.

Hmmm ok i might get a SD card reader then, i guess, along with a 2GB card heh
Is the USB port delicate? It seems pretty sturdy to me?!

No, there is no need to buy a card reader. Just use this application: "WM5torage", as PReDiToR mentioned from above to transfer large files. This small app transforms your Universal into a card reader and it is free. It is similar in function as Softick's Card Export II.
You can download it here: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=dscript&CODE=showdetails&f_id=1702
Mmmm.. I'm not sure I undestand how WM5torage does anything different that connecting the HTC to a PC as usual and accessing the storage card via the file explorer. Am I missing something?

Ohh ok, i was just worried by the 'fragile USB port' comment!
Greets.
Is it possible to do a little app that turns off the SD Card drive, just like when the battery is low? Does it alreay exists?
The usage for that is to do a universal SD card "radio off". New cards such as spectek SDW-821 and my PlusCom 11g does not support turning the radio off without taking the card off the slot, but I fear that by taking it off lots of times it will break the socket.
Thanks in advance.
One was done by Buzzlightyear some time back. Search for BLmanualSD in this forum or on buzzdev.net .
I have it, but want you to see the original links so you can make further references there I hope this approach is acceptable to you
Thanks.
I will take a look.
*EDIT* It does not work. But It was what I was looking for. Some app to shut down the SDIO slot.

Ask Buzz. Maybe he can modify it for you. It was written about 2 years ago.
Hello guys, i've just bought a vodafone v1605 Hermes, after having a bit of fun with it i've bought a microSDHD 4GB cause i wished to install TomTom...
I've inserted it, and after going on settings/memory or file explorer, i couldn't see the extended memory =(
I've tried shutting down the device and turning it back on... but nothing to do... (i've also tried to remove and insert it several times)
After that i've tested it with the adaptor on my PC and it works! =/
Strange thing...
Than i remembered that somewhere someone was talking about the fact that it's needed WM6 to see microSDHD on the device, so i've installed blacksatin, last radio version and last spl but nothing to do... my device can't see the SD card... =(
Now i'm guessing if it may be possible that my device microSD reader is broken... but i really hope not!
Has someone else had this issue?
Is there something i forgot to do? some setting, or something to flash on the device?
Just to assure that it isn't a microSD reader problem, today i'm going to buy a microSD 256mb, let's hope it will see the extended memory card..
All suggestions are appreciated... Thanks!
I had a similar problem after first buying a micro sd. The cause is from pushing it too far in. The hermes micro sd slot is deeper than the sd card is supposed to be put in (by about 1mm). If you insert it until around half a mm is still pertruding it should be ok.
Thanks for the suggestion OdeeanRDeathshead i've tried also this solution... but nothing to do... =(
Just for curiosity, when i insert the microSD and i'm in memory page, should i see it immediatly if the device recognize it? or i've to reboot or "reload" the page?
Ty!
Ok, yesterday afternoon i went to buy a new microSD 1Gb (great offer, i've paid it 13 euros for a promotion) and it works without any problem... so now i really can't understand why the device can't read the 4Gb...
It is an orginal SanDisk MicroSDHC 4Gb... =/
My only doubt is that the device can't recognize this high capacity SD... =(
Am sure I read elsewhere that you need to format the card in a PC card reader (SDHC capable) and then put it in the phone and format again - or something like that.

MicroSDHC cards are not compatible with some WM5 ROMS. What ROM are you using?
So, I've decided to return my Focus back to AT&T because I simply can not live without a physical keyboard...I'm going to keep using my Fuze for a while. I've been using my 8GB SanDisk storage card in the Focus without any issues, but now I want to REformat it so that I can use it my Fuze again. Is there a way to do that, or did the WP7 OS make permanent changes to my storage card? When I put the card into the reader on my laptop, it just says there's no card installed. I knew that I wouldn't be able to read/write info on the card after using it in a WP7 phone, but I want to format it back to "regular"...how do I do that?
Hate to be the one that breaks it to yah, but you cant. Not at this moment at least. Now there is other ways of doing it such as sticking the card in a Nokia phone with at least a S60 OS and it will do it for you. Other than that, hold tight and wait for MS to come up with a way to do it without a work around.
I was afraid of that. I thought I remembered reading something about using a Nokia phone, but I wasn't sure if it was still necessary. Thank you for your response...I'll hold onto this 8GB card until a solution comes out to reformat it.

I ordered this item http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27330 to try and revive a WP7-locked microSD. I have no idea if it will work or not. If it doesn't then I'm out $6.
It hasn't shipped out yet (from HK or China). I'll report back when I get it maybe in January.

The LG Windows Phone 7 has a keyboard! Just saying!
I was able to reformat my first SD card using a Nokia phone.
Well the other solution is to use the card in another Focus or something that can format it, because if the computer can't see it, you can't format it. Not even with formatting tools. Now I haven't checked but you might be able to format it booting into dos and using a utility but instead of going through the hassel I just gave my dad the 16Gb card when I got my 32Gb card.

But wouldn't putting the card in another Focus format it once again so that it couldn't be used by anything but that Focus, which would continue to make it unusable by any other device?
yep but it's better than having a guitar pick laying around lol I'm just glad I didn't format the other 16Gb card I had laying around. Oh and I meant to say my dad's focus
I was able to re-format two micro-sd cards using free software and a flash memory reader on my laptop. Go to download.com and look for Easeus Partition Master.

microSD cards that were formatted in Windows Phone 7? How did your computer even see them?
Well the flash memory is built into my laptop but an external-usb one would work just as well. Download and install the Easeus Partition software. Insert the memory card you want to format and run the software. It will recognize the memory card. I believe you can just right click on the card and select format. Hit apply and it's done.

I think you are missing the point. If Windows,Linux and OSX cant even see the card, how exactly did you format the card? Remember that Windows Phone formats the card to make it unreadable on all devices but Nokia Phones and Windows Phone.

Disappointing but not all that surprising given the track-record.
So far, only Nokia phones and some WinMo phones (such as my AT&T Tilt) have been confirmed as being able to reformat the micro SDHC cards that were used in Windows Phone 7 devices.
I heard Sony Vivaz will format card as well. Don't know for sure as I have not tried, only heard that it does.
I have the same problem. I just hate the fact Focus lock the freaking micro sd card.
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.

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.
