Uhm... They're in the Documents folder, so no it's not gonna be write locked by Windows, unless this person isn't User. But I don't even think that's the problem.

Checksum sector overwritten is a strong indicator that something is fundamentally wrong with the game. This most likely isn't a configuration issue, this simply means it is writing to a portion of the card it never should be able to. Only recommendation I can think of is, make a fresh card, set IOP to Interpreter, format it via the PS2 BIOS, not the game, and see if that works. If that fails, try a development build as others have recommended and repeat.
