Thanks, Mark. No, the cards are writeable. As noted earlier, the 128MB card worked until the system rebooted following a backup restore and I had copied the backup data onto the 128MB card from data copied from the 2GB card (which I copied over to my Vista system). Boy, that was a mouthful. :-) I am seriously considering reflashing. What's the worse that can happen - I spend a few more hours re-installing software...

You have made sure that the little write-protect switches on the cards are in the unlocked position, right? Some readers ignore those switches, though, and I had one reader that malfunctioned and always reported the card was write-protected when it wasn't. I thought the card itself was toast, but I got a new reader and the card worked fine thereafter. I hope the same thing hasn't happened to your Nokia.
