This has happened on two cards so far with no action on my part -- it just turns out to be read-only at some point.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Also, I have been given a few ways to try to change the card's filesystem back to read/write, but I was wondering if anyone here has the "right" way to do this.

Thanks,

Interesting. I just had a similar problem the other day with 'read-only' memory memory message for the card in the internal slot. I have a reg 4g sd in there.
By pure newb happenstance, I disabled the 'virtual memory' which I had at 128mbs and suddenly it was not an issue anymore.

Might that be a factor? Virtual memory?

Just my two cents worth.
