Hi GEO,

Could you enter in Disk Management and check if the SD card is listed there? Does it have a file format and a drive letter? If there is no drive letter assigned, try using the Diskpart command from Command Prompt to assign one.
It should look like this:

Diskpart
List volume
Select volume n
Assign letter =L (or whatever letter you like and is not in use)

I strongly recommend you to check the SD card on another PC or on some other device.

Hope this helps

Try the following commands from the Command Prompt:

diskpart
list disk
select disk x (where x is the number of your SD card)
attributes disk clear readonly

This should remove the write protection of the SD card.

After the list disk command, there should appear a list of the connected drives. Select the SD (if it is listed there) by using select disk x command, where instead of X put the number from the list that corresponds to the SD card. For example, if the SD card appears as drive 3, the next command should be select disk 3
