Some of the files on your MiniSD card have their "Read only" attribute set. Probably at some point in the process of copying from SD to MiniSD. I'm not sure which files are important but if you clear the "read only" attribute on all the files in

\Storage Card\Great-Britain-Map\

and in

\Storage Card\TomTom\

then that should do the job!

The easiest way would be to put your MiniSD in a card reader on a PC.
In Windows Explorer select the drive letter that is assigned to your card reader.
Press Ctrl-F (A "Find" window will pop up)
In the "Named:" field type *.*
Ensure the "Include Subfolders" box is ticked
Left click on the "Find Now" button.

When the Find is finished, left click on any file in the "Name" column.
Press Ctrl-A (All files should become highlighted).
With the mouse over any highlighted file, right click and select "Properties"

In the properties window that pops up, left click in the "Read-only" box so that the tick is cleared from the box.
Left click the "Apply" button.
Left click the "OK" button.

Eject the MiniSD card from the reader using whatever method keeps your PC happy!
Insert MiniSD in your C500
You're done :D
