Problem SD card.

I've run into a problem with a 2gb SD card. I cannot delete or add any data to the card as it has suddenly decided to tell me to unlock the card. I would if I could but there is no switch on the side of this card. I have tried to format it, but the same message comes up. Before I bin it, any ideas?

What card, make, version etc?

And device of course

Well, I've now managed to find the original bill. Purchased in August '05 for my HP 4150. It's a Turbo 150x made by 'adata'. I bought it from the US and notice that the cardboard carrier that it came with talks of a 'Lifetime Warranty', whatever that actually means. Perhaps I should maybe send the supplier a quick Email me thinks.

The company concerned have quickly replied that it will be replaced under the terms of the 'Lifetime Warranty.'
As I cannot format it, should I assume or bring to their attention that the card should be destroyed as it contains licensed software that I have paid for. i.e Tom Tom is just one application on the card.

I would and request confirmation of delivery (ie send recorded del) and request the supplier confirm it has been destroyed (as well as the reason for replacement) - just incase any software vendor ever asks.

I'm facing the same problem too before. Then I have to reformat again my SD card and sacrificed all my files.
