I had a 512 Meg SD Card (samsung), Was working for a few hours. playing mariokart (not online) and few others. Now all of a sudden its locked up with the games and files on it. I can still play the games, but cant save. When i put the SD Card into my PC i cant delete the files on the card, not can i paste anything onto the card. Seems like its fully just locked up on me.
Any ideas?

There is a lock button on the sd card make sure that it is not locked

Yup done that, Done that quite abit just to be sure(Have tryed it while it was locked, then unlocked the card and still no help), Have also tryed in other pc's, other card readers..even digital cameras. and nothing, In digital camera it comes up with a SD card error (Cant remember what it said). really really anoying  :cry:

Hmm so far no luck, Im trying killdisk now and its continued to come up with errors "Error writing sector **** on Device NO NAME (:I)".

and still at 0%, With alot of time remaining. Hmm still no luck here :(

hey i got a 2Gb card that's messed up too.. i'd suggest using the pro version of killdisk in boot mode aka dos .. only BIOS .. then no logic circuts or anthing else will come to stop the writing .. i'd give it a shoot tho :D
