Is the card in a full sized SD adapter? Some of these have a write protect slider which moves too easily, and as
the card is inserted in the reader the slider is pushed to the lock position. That is what I had experienced with one adapter. You could try taping the slider to the unlocked position(covering that notch completely is also unlocked-this is similar to the write protect notch on a cassette tape or vhs tape), or use a different adapter. When taping it, be careful not to cover any part of the contacts. if you never plan to use the write protect lock, you could glue it in place in the unlocked postion with a drop or two of crazy glue(use a tiny amount, and make sure the glue is dry before putting the adapter in the card reader(perhaps wait a day just to be sure).
