I'm currently using an 8gb Transcend card in my Desire, and a few days ago it suddenly wouldn't mount, either in the phone or when phone was connected to the computer. The ext partition was fine, most of my apps ran ok still (except for some of the games which store some data on the fat partition).
I removed the card from the phone and put it in a card reader and ran a disk check on it using Windows XP, and this seemed to sort the fat partition out mostly (some data/music/photos have disappeared).
My question is this - how can I tell if my card is to blame? It is a couple of years old, and was previously in my old Dream where it did get a hammering due to use with a swap partition. I can buy a new card, but I want to be sure that this will definitely solve my problems. Is there a way to check the old card for damaged/worn sectors?

i have a blue angel/sprint ppc 6600. almost every other night between the time i go to be and the time i wake up the sd card gets erased all by itself? i wake up in the morning and everything on it is gone? i make sure all the programs are closed when i put it down for the night. i cant figure it out? any ideas?
i have about 6 programs and some files on the 1 gig sandisk sd card. i have replaced the sd card and the problem continues.
thanks.
This worked for me - I don't know if this will work for you
I formatted my 512mb sdcard took it to fat32
I then ran scandisk and defrag on the card - there were lots of errors
after fixing that
I then reran the scandisk and defrag until all the errors were gone
I now back up my SD card every other day to my desktops Hard Drive
My device is rooted, s-off and I flashed WildChild 3.3 some days ago.
Problem is my phone suddenly doesn't see my SD card at all. Camera says "Insert SD card", Root Explorer "SD card not found", Link2SD "SD card not present". Even in CWM trying to mount SD card gives back error.
When connected to my PC with a card reader (my card reader doesn't have any switch) in MiniTool Partition Wizard, it mounts as read only. So I just see the contents of the FAT32 partition, I can't perform format. Could it be fried?
I tried another SD card on my phone and it mounted normally, whereas my SD card had exact the same problem on a Galaxy Europa (not mounting at all).
It is a Verbatim 8GB class 4 and it came with no adaptor. It worked fine until now, it also worked the first days with the new ROM (3 partitions, FAT32, ext2, linux swap). I don't have a clue how it became read-only...
Any ideas?
Most likely corrupted. Seeing that your other card works, its a high possibility that its gone corrupt.
Buy a new one or use the other.

I am going for a new micro SD card. Damn, I would prefer spending my money otherwise...
You can try Hp Formatting Tool, it worked for me everytime. It's like a handy charm. :")
I wanted to convert my 200gb micro sd card into internal storage for my Nvidia Shield tablet.For the specifications of the N. Shield it said 128gb was the biggest storage possible for a micro sd card, but I'd seen multiple cases of people using 200gb micro sd cards just fine on the shield.
I started the formatting process ,it got stuck at 20% and then crashed. I restarted my tablet to find that the SD card had become corrupted. I brought a micro sd adaptor and plugged it into the computer. I tried to format it from the computer to find the error message: "The volume does not contain a recognized file system". I check disk management to find that it only has 30mb storage.
I've have tried everything to restore it back to 200gb, but it still shows up as only having 30mb.
This is what I've done so far: 1) Everything diskpart related.
2) Like a dozen SD formatting programs
3) Partition tools have also failed
What do I do now? I don't want $200 down the drain.
You could try using DISKPART on Windows or the disk utility on a MAC and try to repair the volume that way, other than that I think your SD Card is made by SanDisk who has a lifetime no questions asked warranty.
I originally used the Best Buy "Pixtor" branded SanDisk card in my Portable and they replaced it with an Ultra no questions asked, (64GB U1) SD Cards die unfortunately, just call them, don't do what I did and waste 4 hours trying to fix it lol.
P.S. It sounds like the format got to 20% and found a bad sector.

I recently "soft-bricked" a brand new SanDisk 200GB card. I was able to recover the wiped partition. I recommend you try Minitool Parition Manager. If that doesn't work, try Minitool Data Recovery. I had to end up utilizing the Data Recovery program. Now it works, and my 200GB SanDisk is good as new. If you can't seem to repair it, like @Neoistheone2000 said, your warranty will cover it Though it sucks having to go through an exchange process. Amazon is the best for situations like that.
Use any partition utility that is not built into Windows. Minitool per above, any flavor of Gparted, etc. "Real" tools will bring back any bad drive that is not a hardware failure. Ironic to many, Mac's Disk Utility is actually quite capable in this regard, as well.
I have an LG G3 D850 currently on Fulmics 5.2. I have never had this issue before but maybe someone here has run accross it. 2 Days ago I realized that my phone was not picking up my SD card memory. Today I decided to check it out to see what it was. First, I tried it on another phone and it picks it up just fine. All my files are there so it is not the SD card itself. I then thought maybe something got corrupted on the rom I am using but when I booted into recovery, it doesnt pick it up either. Could it be that the SD card reader on my phone is fried? What can I do to pin it down to the exact problem?

can still be the sd card backup your sd card and format to ntfs then to fat 32 on pc and see if that helps, also try a different sd card if you can. from personal experience a newly bought 128 gb wouldn't pick up until i formatted to a different filesystem than the fat series, or try a low level wipe on the sd card (extra careful with this one 1 pass only first 100,000 sectors)

But the weird thing is that I have been using this SD card for over a year now without a problem. So the first thing I thought was that the problem was with the SD card card until I put it into another phone and everything showed up fine. So the problem seems to be with my phone, either related to hardware or software.
To try your idea of the backup and format, what method do you recommend?

U could use low-level formatting tool here http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/
Or regular windows format if ur on windows and gparted on linux
I bought a G7 Play during Thanksgiving sales at Wal-Mart. It's been running fine until today, when I rebooted.
It's stock. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted it.
I have a 64 GB PNY Elite SD card configured to be portable storage.
Today, when I rebooted, I got a notification "SD card issue. Tap to fix." When I tapped, it wanted to know whether I wanted to use the SD card as adoptable or portable storage, and wanted me to reformat the card regardless of which option I chose.
I turned the phone off and removed the SD card, replacing it with a 2 GB Samsung card. That one functions as expected.
Has anyone else seen this behavior, and is there anything to be done to fix it, or should I just contact Lenovo?
Thanks!
Try using another phone with this SD Card. If it works then your phone is having incompatibility with the card. Didn't work? Your SD Card data has probably got corrupted. If you can plug it on computer with an adapter check if it shows RAW in disk management. If it does try formatting with windows usual format procedure. If that shows an error your last resort would be using diskpart. use list disk, then select the disk which is your sd card, then type clean, then create partition primary, then format. That didn't work too? Then it's a hardware issue and what you got there is part of e-waste now.
