Error 21 - The device is not ready.
When I try to write an image to an SD card, I get "Error 21: The device is not ready" and then the application crashes when I click OK. I'm using version 0.4 because I couldn't get 0.5 to work in Windows 7 (could not see the device in the device list). Is there any way that I can get this to work?
[Edit]
Got this working by closing all open explorer windows.

Glad you got it working. Windows Explorer being open will prevent WinImageWriter from getting a lock on the device, which is necessary for it to write the image.
