How Can I Unwrite Protect My PSP Memory Card?

There are few things more annoying with video game systems, including Sony's PlayStation Portable, or PSP, than trying to find a saved game, video, song or photo, only to find that it has been deleted or overwritten. Fortunately, most memory cards, including the Memory Stick PRO Duo that's used in the PSP, can be protected so that files do not disappear when you don't want them to.
