The actual sdhc card is only recognised by my computer (Windows8) when locked in the "read only" mode.The card reader is built-in. If I put the card in "unlocked" it says the drive is waiting for a disk. So I have to lock the card before I can copy it. Is there something I'm (not) doing?

Thanks for the thought, Shubham. The answer is, to my shame, that the very well used card turned out to be faulty.Could be a hairline crack in the conductive bits, perhaps. The solutions was a new card. Always the obvious......!
