Check the side of the card for a physical switch. It will slide up and down. Most often this is in the wrong position if you cannot modify the disk.

Regular SD cards have a slider that can write-protect the device, but I don't think micro-sd cards have one of those (mine don't). In any case, SD cards over 8GB need to be supported by SD-HC (or newer) controllers. It may be that your phone doesn't support SD-HC (high capacity) devices. SD-HC can deal with devices with over 8GB (up to 32GB) of capacity. You would need SD-XC for more than that.

the above solutions might work...check it.. if they dont...folow the following..
- Connect ur phn to the PC via Data Cable and enable Mass Storage, the memory card should appear in My Computer
- Right-click on the SD card icon and select Properties.
- there should appear some checkboxes that change the SD card property...like hidden, read only etc.
- Uncheck the Read-only checkbox..
- Click Apply and then OK..
After completeing the above steps, try formating ur card... it should work..

try using a network adapter for your micro sd card, or check with a reader.
