SD card wirte protected "ignore-my-docs"

Help

I have two SD cards which are empty except for a folder called
"ignore-my-docs" I have tried to delete this folder but am told that the
disc is write protected. The lock is set into the correct position and the
discs are otherwise empty. What can I do next?

History - I used a Resco file explore on my original IPAQ 1710 and am now
trying to use these cards in my IPAQ 5550 (without Resco). not sure whether
there's a clue in all of that.

Thanks for your time
Sue

Do you have a PC-based SD card reader that you can use, and try and delete
the file in Windows?

If you try this be careful, and it's at your own risk. I've seen reports of
similar SD card problems with other devices that have been sorted by
slightly increasing the thickness of the card itself- just a layer of
sellotape on the reverse of the card. I'm not sure if it is relevant or will
help here but it may be worth trying. I chose a machine that takes CF cards
as they were cheaper and available in larger sizes. My digital camera uses
SD and it was in an area related to cameras where I saw that, although I
havent had the problem.

The My Documents have no "" around the name on the storage card in my
machine.

Good luck.
