Hi and welcome to the forum.
Can you please advise what kinds of cards you are using: specifically are they full-size or micro with adapters, and what brand, finally where did you get these from?

That detail will help us to help you.

is there a way to disable this feature so we can use this camera?

Are they mini cards inside an adapter? If so, are you using the same adapter for both? Do you have another adapter? If they're both full-sized cards, and they're both showing locked, and they're physically unlocked, that's a problem.
