    You haven't accidentally moved the little thing on the side of the SD card up or down have you? Think down write protects it if I remeber correctly.

    Is it an older laptop? Is this a newer SDHC card? How big is the SD card? Can the laptop read data from the card? Can the laptop read or write data to a different card? Was the laptop ever able to write to this card?
