Writing to a SanDisk Flashdisk card

Recently acquired a 175 MB Flashdisk PCMCIA card (made by SanDisk) for my A1200, but am having trouble doing anything useful with it.  Although I believe I installed the provided software correctly (Fat 95 device, etc.) and it does come up on the Workbench display as two devices (FDO and the card's alpha-numerical name), the Amiga's PrepCard utility tells me it's write protected.  When I save stuff to it or re-name it, the files and the name disappear when the card is removed.  So it's behaving like a RAM disk.  But files I save to it don't load when I try to retrieve them, so it's not working as RAM very well either.  Any ideas?

That's helpful.  I had tried re-formatting it as an Amiga disk but as I could not write to it, this did not work.  I will try the cfd.lha and see if that works better than the software which was supplied with the card.
