Solving Media Card Reader Problems
Problem
Media card will not work in
a digital camera after
formatting it in Microsoft
Windows XP.
A write-protected or locked
error occurs when
attempting to write to the
media card.
Service Reference Guide, dc5700
Cause
Hard Drive's "Emulation
Type" is set to "None."
The device is attached
to a SATA port that has
been disabled in
Computer Setup.
Hard drive is damaged.
Program in use has
stopped responding to
commands.
Cause
By default, Windows XP
will format any media
card with a capacity
greater than 32MB with
the FAT32 format. Most
digital cameras use the
FAT (FAT16 & FAT12)
format and can not
operate with a FAT32
formatted card.
Media card is locked.
Locking the media card
is a safety feature that
prevents writing to and
deleting from an
SD/Memory Stick/ PRO
card.

Run the Computer Setup utility and
change the "Emulation Type" to
"Hard Disk" in the device's details
under Storage > Device
Configuration.

ensure the device's SATA port is

See the Worldwide Limited
Warranty for terms and conditions.
Attempt the normal Windows "Shut
Down" procedure. If this fails, press
the power button for four or more
seconds to turn off the power. To
restart the computer, press the
power button.
Solution
Either format the media card in the
digital camera or select FAT file
system to format the media card in a
computer with Windows XP.
If using an SD card, make sure that
the lock tab located on the right of
the SD card is not in the locked
position. If using a Memory
Stick/PRO card, make sure that the
lock tab located on the bottom of
the Memory Stick/PRO card is not
in the locked position.
