I have noticed that those switches do not always operate as they should. So that if you have the thing in the unprotected spot, sometimes the tiniest microscopic wiggle of the switch will put it back under protection. Hence, sometimes the switches, even when set correctly, yield the wrong reading. But when I put the card in a card reader, rather than one built into the computer, it, indeed reads correctly and lets me write to the card. Just experiential blitherings here. The switches are sometimes faulty, I guess, is what I am saying. On 10/7/2014 11:54 AM, Rob wrote:
There is probably a small notch on one side edge of the card and a larger notch on the other side edge. The larger notch is the side where the protector switch is located. Use your fingernail to locate another small notch on the edge near the larger notch. If the small notch is further away from the end of the card that you insert into a device, then the card is protected. Stick your fingernail in the smaller notch and slide the protector switch toward the end of the card that you insert into a device. Now the smaller notch is closer to the end of the card that you insert into a device, and the larger notch is further away. The card is now not protected, and you can read and write files to the card. I hope this helps. This sounds complicated, but is really easier to do than it is to describe. Once you locate the protector switch, just try both positions until you can create or paste files to the card.

Yes, they are FAT32, but I can't find any switch on them.

Hi,
are the cards formated as FAT32? Probably they are formated as ExFAT or something else. And I am not sure if the CF cards also have a protection slider, but if so probably it is in the protected position and returns the wrong reply.
