Hey Arbind Dubey. Is there a lock switch on the memory card? This might prevent you from accessing it, it is a very tiny switch witch lock the card. Check if you have something like this and if "yes", turn it off. Do you want to access the card without formatting or you just want to be able to open it on your computer? If you don't care about the data in it, you could try a formatting tool if the manufacturer has one.

Hope that helps.

This is indeed a hard question to readily answer. The most likely cause is what Boogeyman pointed at, which would be a physical lock on the card itself, normally a small switch or slide-able bar. These are used as an extra measure to prevent data loss, corruption or theft.

Two other things that spring to mind are format and encryption. It is not unknown, albeit rare, for mobile devices to use a format on removable media that is not commonly recognized by windows as a file system. This is incredibly unlikely if you're using any device that is designed for the public however, such as a Samsung Galaxy series phone or tablet, a HTC, Kyocera etc. The second thing is much more likely, and even something that can be done accidentally. Many phones, in fact almost all phones, have the ability to encrypt data stored on removable media, even going as far as encrypting the entire SD card itself. This is meant to prevent unwanted access to personal information stored on such media. Windows would not be able to readily recognize a file system if it is encrypted in this manner, thus causing the message that you are seeing.

The best way to resolve this, if it is indeed the case, is to put the card back in your device, decrypt it, then place the card back in the computer and attempt to access it again. For information on reversing encryption you will have to get the make and model of your phone (such as Kyocera Hydro or HTC One) then go to the corresponding manufacturers website and search for this information. Alternatively, if you still have the owners manual, you may find the information inside. If you wish to fiddle with the phone a bit to try and locate it yourself, in my experience such settings are normally found under settings -> storage.

Hope this helps

hey, try using HP USB Disk Format to format your SD card with an external card reader
