new micro sd card write protected..

[Tmorales509]

Hello, i bought a 8gb Samsung micro sdhc card and i have a motorola micro sd adapter. I am trying to put music on this card to use in my android tablet but whenever i do it says that the card is write protected and i need to remove the protection or use a different card. Well the lock switch is off on the adapter but i am still getting to error. Tried to format the card and it says the same thing. This really sucks, i bought this brand new card and it wont work. Anyone have a solution for this? Also my computer is a compaq presario cq5300y if that makes a difference.

First thing to try is a bit of tape over the slide on the card in case the adaptor switch is not detecting the slide correctly.

You put the tape over the actual lock switch or on the opposite side that has a little notch in it?
