You've accidentally moved the little write protect tab on the card?

If you haven't moved the tab, try another card - you can't have too many anyway.

Probably because the card is done. I'd recommend you replace it.

If you didn't move the switch, it means the card is dead and needs to be replaced. If you did move the switch, it means the card is dead and needs to be replaced. Once an SD card starts showing this error, it is trash. Toss it and get a new one.

On your SD Card, you'll probably see a small grey switch, make sure it isn't in the 'locked' position.
