Dude, if he says his doesn't have one, then it doesn't have one.
@OP: Have you tried reformatting the card?
QUOTE said:San Disk cards have a little notch on the underside (long edge on one side) that can be moved for write protect/unprotect ... similar to the notch in the corner of 1.44 MB floppy diskettes. Other cards that don't have a switch like this may use the default settings (configured by the device that it came with) to disable writing to the disk. Note: these other card types are probably set to be write protected by the device software that came with them (such as a digital camera and the accompanying software would figure that it is the only interface that will write to your memory card).
Virtually *all* USB devices that have onboard storage capacity will in raw form be seen by the computer as an added hard drive. You can check for this by going into My Computer or Explore (on IBM based pc's). If you can get to a file/folder view of the memory card you are asking about, try and set the (top level) folder properties and/or file properties to *not* be hidden or read-only. More information regarding file permissions can be clarified by researching file attributes.
