[QUOTE="wcs, post: 211816, member: 11407"] I've been trying to remove write protection from a usb flash drive and a SD card installed in an Epson XP-820 USB port and SD card slot. I'm running Windows Vista x64. I'm able to copy files to the USB flash drive and the SD card when connected directly to my PC's USB port however when connected to the XP-820 USB port and the SD card slot I keep receiving errors that the drive is write protected. I've tried adjusting the settings in Regedit and from an Adimistrator prompt running diskpart without any luck. Removing writing protection from usb flash drive and SD card. 1. Regedit method HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control WriteProtect = 0 (reboot) 2. diskpart method DISKPART > LIST DISK > SELECT DISK # ATTRIBUTES DISK (displays attributes) ATTRIBUTES DISK CLEAR READONLY (clears readonly) I've tried four different SD cards and one flash drive, all are recognized and readable but not writable. I guess it's no big deal as I can just bypass the printers sd and usb ports, however I'm wondering if other have experienced the same scenario with their XP series printer while connected to a PC and operating system? I'm currently connected via a usb cable and have experienced the same thing after connecting the XP-820 to another PC [/QUOTE]
