there isnt anything i can download like a driver or firmware program to restore it... ive tried to format it thru a computer and it says my card is write protected.... is there a way around the write protection?

nevermind... i didnt have an adapter wit the unlock tab....i got it workin fine now...i put it in an adapter wit the lock/unlock tab and stuck it in a computer wit a built in card reader and formated it and it work good as new!!! :o for some reason it didnt work in a regular usb card reader.

Redtygr,

Hey glad you got it working. I'm hoping that I can get mine working that way, I don't have access to a card reader so I have to figure it out when I obtain one.
Andrew,

yea, most of the new computers and laptops has them built in already. b4 i found a friend with a laptop wit a built in card reader, a friend suggested me to go to compusa, best buy, or circuit city and go stick my card in one of the computers/laptops and format that way. LOL :lol: sounds odd but its one way of gettin it done!!! :thumbleft:

If you don't overwrite the data on the card, I have a program that will pull the data off of the FAT filesystem of the MiniSD, EVEN if the computer can't recognize it. Works for HDDs too. It allowed me to pull all my documents, ebooks, and pictures on my OLD HP 6315 back in my Tmobile days when my 1GB Sandisk SD card crapped out. You have to put it on a computer with a Card Reader though. Program's like 2 megs at most. Or just go download it and look for a key for it. Its called GetDataBack, and you need the FAT version, NOT NTFS.
