Trouble loading update to Sd Card Humminbird 798

[Riverc]

I am having trouble loading this update to a sd card .When I try it keeps saying right protected. Do I need a card reader?? Confused here

Move the slide switch (write protect) on the sd card to other position.

Cane Pole, I tried what u said and it still tells me to remove write protection or use another card.I am using a SanDisk 4 g

??? Maybe try FULLY reformatting the memory card???
Are you using an SDHC compatible card reader?

[Cane Pole]

???Try sending an image or any unrelated file or something to the sd. See if it is working. What Gregg said.

they are NEVER simple. I hear all the time how "simple" they are. I have NEVER successfully downloaded ANYTHING "simply". Including humminbird stuff.

EVER!

I had my son help on the download to the card. It only took a minute for him. He is teaching his computer teacher at high school when she has a problem showing them something on the computer during class. he is a whiz on the stuff. He built his own computer. I know Jack. I took the card and down loaded it on to the unit myself. That was easy.CF
