Find the write-proof slide lock. If you’re trying to write data to the microSD card using a computer, but it doesn’t work, it’s likely that the memory card adapter has a write-resistant slide lock. This slide lock is usually located on the top left of the adapter.

If there is a notch on the right side of the adapter, fix it with tape. Some devices cannot overwrite the microSD card if there is a notch on the adapter. Apply a small piece of tape over the notch so that the device can read the adapter normally.

Find the disk number of the microSD card. A quick way to determine the disk number that corresponds to the microSD card is to check the disk space. Look for a disk with the capacity corresponding to the microSD card.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ee/Remove-Write-Protection-on-a-Transcend-Micro-Sd-Card-Step-8.jpg/v4- 460px-Remove-Write-Protection-on-a-Transcend-Micro-Sd-Card-Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ee/ Remove-Write-Protection-on-a-Transcend-Micro-Sd-Card-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Write-Protection-on-a-Transcend-Micro-Sd-Card-Step-8. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Type select disk (the disk number of the microSD card) and press ↵ Enter . This command will tell the computer that the next command is for that disk, so you can specifically target the microSD card. The text “Disk (number) is now the selected disk” will appear next showing that the microSD card is currently selected.
