Hi. Can someone shed some light on this? I have a 64gb memory card and I'm running PA I know exfat isn't supported but when I plus the SD reader into the computer it says please insert disk. I get a notification when my SD in my phone so i try reformatting with my phone itself but all I get is the same error stating it is corrupted and needs to format. I did some research and other people say when the SD is plugged into the computer you can try changing the drive letters for example F: to Z: because windows xp to could be using the same letters as others drives

Dont need to change path or reformat just follow instruction n first post by OP.
Edit.. OP use path d: you will need to change it to path your card is using.

You will need a card reader then follow procedure from the link. Windows will recover all your files after it verify contents of your card. Just be patient when you do it mine took 10 mins to verify contents of my card.

I downloaded the program and opened it and selected the USB drive which my SD card was in and it won't let me click next and recover it because apparently my computer didn't install it. But on the bottom of my screen it showed me it's installed.

No program needed just go to RUN and typed CMD........from new window, type Chkdsk d: /r. change d: to whatever g: or h: check the path of your card reader when you connect it to your usb. *Windows will check all the contents in the card and verify it. It is really important to change the path when you are doing Chkdsk to same path as your card reader is.

Hi all, just got a byteStor sd card but can't seem to copy anything to it, i've tried switching the lock, i've tried formatting it but to no avail.
has anyone any ideas ???
TIA
Does your XDA II recognise it?
One thing to try is inserting the card while XDA II is on and see if it prompts you to format it. If it's not formatted it should prompt you.

If I try just copying a file with the sd card in the card reader on the pc then it says that the disk is wright protected.
I've just tried copying an mp3 using activesync and it works ???? strange
So you are saying that with the card in the XDA II you can browse it from Activesync's explore option and write to it successfully? and that on your PC, the card reader doesn't seem to allow writing to it?
If that's the case, then maybe you should look at the card reader and its drivers. I think I read something somewhere about XP getting things wrong with memory cards.

It's a built in unit, not a seperate reader but yes, I will look at the driver option.... thanks
I think you might have to just let it sit for a while. It does that to me all the time.
hi guys! m new here.. i have a prob with my sd card. everything from copying files to sd card to reformatting are fine. however when i open the files using the sd, oftentimes it stops running.

I just got my 1gb apacer 60x sd card for my blueangel.

Pull sd out of phone and use a card reader to see if it can be read from the pc. If you can read it with the pc, copy all your files to the pc and then format the sd fat32. Once formated put the files back on the sd and put it back in the phone and see if it works then.

How old is it? Sometimes they just go out, especially with heavy use.

have you ever pulled the SD card out of a device before Unmounted it? Sounds like the the chip inside is dead. There are some places that you can take it to and they can pull the info off of it. its not cheap but they do exist. It all depends on if you really want the info off of it or not.
Have you tried "SD Card Tester" from the Market, Or H2testw 1.4 for the PC?

as i said before, phone and pc wont let me format, it says write protection on sd card
Try using a partition manager to actually remove the partition on the card, create and format a new one.
If that doesn't work its likely a problem with the write circuitry on the card and time to get a new one.

Thanks, for reply, but how can i do that with windows xp?
Look for a free partition manager tool.
Alternatively and better, download and burn an Ubuntu disk. It can be used to boot your pc into Linux, very user friendly and harmless to your Windows installation. That has a built in partition manager which is very powerful

Having the same problem here
started after I formated my sd card
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Or download the live linux distro parted magic
partedmagic[dot]com
burn the iso on CD or use unetbootin (just google it) to create a bootable flash drive.
After starting it, open gparted on the desktop
Beware: Don't manipulate partitions starting with sda (this might be your internal hard drive containing windows)
on PC (XP) you can use free tools from:
- Easus (http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm)
- Minitool (http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html)
If you encounter "write protected" card, it may simply be broken.
I had the same issue with my first 64GB SanDisk micro SD and returned it.
Replacement works fine now.
Same solution here:
- burn Knoppix or Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) on a cd/dvd and boot on restart - format through numerous tools available
- delete partition or try changing drive letter in widows from Device->Manager->Disk Manager
- if write protection continues, try trashing or replacing from vendor

Remove the sdcard from your phone and with an adaptor plug it into your computer.
Then download this free FAT32 formatter utility from: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/FAT32format-Download-79375.html
and format your sdcard.
After formatting the sdcard put it back in your phone and it should work just fine.
Good luck!

Only thing is .... it is not working..... This is what I get.

Warning ALL data on drive 'r' will be lost irretrievably, are you sure

If it errors out when you try formatting it using your computer that means the sdcard is
defective, hope you still have time to return and exchange it for one which works.
At least you now know that the problem has nothing to do with the phone.
Good luck!
please someone help...
my SD card is unusable! it works on my pc, i copy things on it, but when I mount on my phone, it has a weird name (mainly numbers) and appears empty, and when I check it on my pc it's empty too (the storage is still used up)
and i can't copy anything (says it stopped responding or disconnected).
i have to reformat it, but that doesn't fix anything. that issue still occurs

It's too weird.. i think it's the rom. because, now, i can see the SD Card's content when i mount it with a USB adapter to my laptop.
Hi
You need to go into settings on the phone and long press on the SD card and you will be able to format the card to copy to. Do not format as internal.
