Dear quotemsg,
I've tried the methods above and any methods I found on the web.
But really didn't works for me, with the methods above:
I've done from 1st step into 7, after that I saw windows can not format the disk write protection, ect. I didn't see the 8th step.

Then, with this mehods: Run ----> cmd ----> chkdsk "X":/F Also same result I've got! windows can not checking on this volume because it is write protected.

And with these methods: Run -----> My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDeviceP olicies ---->> ECT. Also didn't the result.
I sure I've done all the step correctly.

I don't know is it my memory card (Micro sd 2gb) was broken, or my Card Reader (USB 2.0 Multi Card Reader).
I just try to format manually on my PC. But same result.
Then I try to put my Memory Card into my Phone again, then format it there. And blawww!! I lost all of my data, even I've copied into my PC.
But I wonder, why the card / disk was still write protection??
Any suggest friend? Thanks for all replier, appreciated it.
