My new 64s memory is 'Read only" and I cannot load anything

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hello,

I bought a 64s yesterday, and installed basemap on a new Windows 10 computer. The problem is the internal memory (and microSD card) keep setting to 'Read only' - which means I cannot load any maps, Birdseye or, presumably, saved tracks or waypoints.

This makes the device pretty un-useful, to say the least.

I have tried going to the CMD prompt in Windows and set 'DISKPART> attributes clear disk readonly' to the relevant disk, but even this did not help.

Has anyone come across (and solved) this issue?
