I just download a game and when i copy it to my sd card it's says The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection or use another disk. do i need to buy a new card reader and a new sd card?OOpps There is no switch around the card reader either..

Right click on the file that is wright protected and click on 'properties'.... There should be a box that is checked of that says 'read-only'.... Un check the box and click 'apply'.... that should take off the warning.....

mds64, he's not saying there's no box, he's just saying it's not ticked.
chukapi, before you just buy a new card, try backing up everything on the card to your PC and then format it (the card)(Don't format your PC!!).
