This doesn't work for me. I checked Write Protect and it's already set to 0. Any more suggestions. This was a perfectly good DVD-RW. All I did was reformat it and now it's Write Protected. How did that happen?

@likekinds If you don't have the option "StorageDevicePolicy", You have to create it.

cd\

reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet­­­\Control\StorageDevicePolici­e­s­" /t Reg_dword /v WriteProtect /f /d 1

Copy the above code to a text file and save it with .bat extension and then run it. It will create "StorageDevicePolicy". Then, you can continue with above process

I found it on internet and it has worked for me:

It is not pretty but it works.

1) In My Computer, right click on the drive letter of your SD card and

2) Eject it.

3) Then pull the card out and stick it back in.

4) Try to write to the card. If it works, GREAT! Proceed with your copying.

5) If it DIDN'T work, repeat steps 1 through 4.

I have found that I sometimes have to try the process SEVERAL (6-8) times before I can write to the card.
