This is a wild guess but are you using an microSD card that was in a Windows 7 phone? If so you might be hard pressed. I read something the other day about WP7 *locking* microSD cards at a level that is really hard to remove. I think I read something about Nokia phones helping but I don't recall.

*Update*
Found and article that seems to spell it out.
