Aurora R12, need help formatting micro-SD card

Hi all, Can anyone help me with how do I go about formatting a micro-SD card that is write protected? I have tried every way I know and I just can't get round it.

See here, you likely have to slip the switch on the card like they used to do for floppy disks: Write protect sd card

I’ve got it no w. It thanks and I never have the switch on lock unless I need the info but thank you again

CrimsonSparky · Answer

I don't know how to do all that I've just tried, and it said it didn't recognize it

steadler · Answer

This will remove the lock attribute and should be able to format

CrimsonSparky · Answer

I’ve got it now thanks I reply do appreciate it thanks again

CrimsonSparky · Answer

it is still saying that the disk is write protected

steadler · Answer

Was that card encrypted or formated with different OS?

You might try: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

find an sd card adaptor and try with that.(unlock tab)

Did you try to delete partition(s)

the card could be defective
