SDS100/SDS200: SDS 100 SD card access error

[Icanhearit]

I reinstalled the new version re-ran through everything. I still couldn’t write the firmware with the SD card in the scanner or in an SD adapter in the computer. The solution was I needed to open Sentinel by using “Run As Administrator” . As I mentioned earlier, perhaps it’s not an occult bug, but it’s a huge security risk. @JoeBearcat , please look into this. I could not write to the SD card using Sentinel’s latest version unless I ran it as an administrator.

Most people don't need run as administrator. This is more likely due to your window local policy issue.

Poweron the scanner into mass storage mode. Use the file explorer property to check if the scanner drive permission is write protected and unchecked the attribute.

Only if protected, then you have to run sentinel as admin to override the protection, but sentinel is not the one that makes the scanner drive as write protected in the first place.

Not trying to start a debate, and I appreciate the replies. But I have been using Sentinel for many years. Even the previous version worked without being run as Administrator, which is why I tagged @JoeBearcat. The SD cards were reformatted and read only attributes were cleared using both File Explorer and DISKPART.

Still, the fact remains that many others have upgraded Sentinel for the waterfall feature and aren't seeing this issue.
