Hi everyone, I am really struggling with this one and would really need help. My new Sandisk 8GB card would get write-protected after I format it in my Nikonn D3100 camera. I have changed two cards already but everytime I format it from Camera "format" option it write-protects all my pictures. I can still delete those pictures from Camera but not from my SD card reader on my laptop. I have tried different SD card readers but they all say "disk is write-proctected". I know there is small lock latch but it is at "unlock" position. I have moved latch up/down as well quite a few times but my laptop says "write-protected" which means I can copy files from the card but cannot delete them! This is very annoying as I am use to delete files from my laptop. Has anyone got any clue why these cards are getting write-protected? I have not set any protection on my pictures as I know there is a protected AE-L key near viewfinder. I don't think card is faulty as this is my 3rd card in 2 weeks!
