SD Card Locked

Trying to update to Pre Release. The Sd Card does not have enough room and I am trying to delete an older back up to make room. I keep getting an error deleteing message. So I hooked the LS+ to the computor and tried to erase it through the File explorer. When I try that it tells me my card is locked. I have erased from this card before, no problems. I did not lock it. How do I go about unlocking it? I looked at properties of the card while it was hooked to the PC and I did not see a way to lock or unlock.. Any ideas? Thanks

I don't think so, but I will check. I have not had it out of the unit since I got it. Thanks for the idea though.

Very strange, After having it off overnight, I try to erase the same file today and it erases. Does not make sense, but it worked today.

Some equipment has audio sensors. If you YELL at it, it will work. (Don't try with women)

All kidding aside, you probably had a poor contact. Removing and re inserting probably allowed it to work. A cheap card reader can allow more bad connects.
I've got 5 or 6 bad card readers.
I finally bought a 30 dollar one. No more problems.

Nate thanks for the advice, but I never took it out of the LS. Just thought I would try it again this morning after being turned off last night. Worked no problem. Can't explain that one. Your right about the yelling, works sometimes with the LS, but never with the ladies.
