WINDOWS 7 AND WINDOWS 10YOU CAN THANK ME LATER ! - The Solution is hidden within gpedit.msc After sifting through all the frankly useless 'help' out there e.g. unlock the write protect tab etc, change the registry keys etc..., it's simply a restrictive setting within Windows 7 or Windows 10. Thank you to ****/blog/enable-or-disable-folder-options-in-windows/ for sending me in the right direction.

Missing Properties\Security Tab leads to missing writing permission on SD Card

I was getting started with my Raspberri Pi and had to install Raspbian on my (unlocked) SD Card. After trying to get the Raspbian Image on my SD via Win32DiskImager, i got the "error 5: missing writing permission" response. I tried to change its
permissions in the properties tab, though unfortunately there was no security tab so I headed to the
regedit : Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer where you can usually find the
NoSecurityTab-DWORD. In my case it simply wasnt there. I tried to create a new 32Bit-DWORD (not a new key, just the DWORD in the
\Explorer "folder") which i would name NoSecurityTab and set its value to 0 but apparently none of my approaches seemed to work.

Can anybody please help me with that?

I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

Thanks in advance

SD card write-protection unwanted

I have a micro SD card which suddenly says it is write-protected. I made sure the small tab on the side was in the proper position. I also tried the disk part method but it had no effect on the read only status.
I see there's another possible solution by editing the registry, but I'm worried that that would apply to all drives. Any suggestions? I don't want to erase all the files on the drive.
And I tried 2 different adapters, which work on another SD card.
Thanks.

 

SD card write-protection unwanted

Just a suggestion to make sure before you write it off:
I have a SD card where the write protection tab is "loose" so that every time i insert it into a reader it moves to the "protect" position and when i pull it out, the tab moves back to the "write" position.
I ended up taping it in the write position with a small piece of tape.

Edit:
Nevermind. I just realized you're asking about a micro SD.... My bad.
