Issues with my PRS-505 and Calibre, Errors communicating

Hello there, I've been going through the FAQ on the Calibre site, and searching these forums, sadly with no luck.

So, to start. I've been using Calibre for a year or so now. I just recently built a new PC, and just downloaded the newest version of Calibre to use.

My first problem occurred when I did the startup wizard. The choices under Sony no longer lists the 505. Only the 500, Reader 6" and Touch, Daily, and Pocket. Wasn't sure what to pick, figured the 500 was the closest, so went with that.

Everything seemed to be working. It recognized my 505, and showed the internal storage and memory card I have inserted.

My problem starts now, where I'm trying to load books onto the 505.

I keep getting this type of message for every single book I try to load onto the device:

Quote:
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

(19, 'The media is write protected')

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 56, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 243, in _upload_books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\prs505\driver.py", line 132, in upload_books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\usbms\device.py", line 863, in create_upload_path
File "os.py", line 157, in makedirs
WindowsError: [Error 19] The media is write protected: 'K:\\Miller, John Jackson'
Now, I know the media isn't write protected, and it's a free PDF e-book. I've tried with other ebooks as well that have no DRM, and get the same message.

Any advice, or idea's as to what's going on/what I can do to fix this?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
