SD card

Okay so I'm going to go through a list of problems and things I've encountered along with what happened to my SD card.

It's a SanDisk 8GB micro SDHC. I had made it a bootable card in order to root my Barnes and Nobles nook Color to an android OS. It worked fine, even after I reformatted it. Somewhere along the lines my friend had decided to think it would be funny to wipe my Cache Partition thinking that it would just erase normal data on the device. After which I laid the device to rest and attempted to reformat the SD card. It kept giving me an error "This device cannot be formatted" or "This device cannot be stopped from running" Since then I noticed that it reads that it has 30.6 MB of storage on it, even in the disk manager it only reads it as though it has 30.6 MB. When I started I could still access the files on it, but now when I attempt to access the card it says that the card is not formatted. So I chose to reformat it, windows couldn't do it so I used SDFormatter to no avail. I've gone through the CMD and up to list disk where it brings up my computers hardrive but not the micro SD itself. As a last resort I went through EASEUS (A data recovery tool for those that don't know) And it does not even show the device there either. I believe the SD card to be dead but until I'm sure of it I do not wish to let it go because it still lets me see the contents, though, only occasionally. I'm tech savvy so to speak so I can follow complicated instructions and nothing I've read on so far has been able to help.
[Wildfire General] methuselah:
As per me you need to format it full. I consider you heard about HP format utility tool. It is easily available by searching on Google. It will format your card new at once. Other than that use windows command line. I mean DOS in windows7 . check your drive letter memory card and type ...whateverdrivename: format

Well the syntax I don't think is right. Check Google for same. It will take several minutes . don't do quick format. Just use what I told you. Hope this would help..:thumbup:

my sd card is flaking out. it's not being recognized on the computer, in and out on my hlte t-mo. recovery finds every folder, but can't access thru a root browser. any suggestions, short of full reformatting?
[Wildfire General] methuselah:
Do you heard about "mini partition wizard#. Try to put your card in a card reader and then try to search whether this software is able to read it ?? If it finds then you can easily format it there ...

Hi every one

So my 64GB toshiba card is working but

1: I can't format it used android phone, windows,command prompt Hp tool sd card formater minitool partition etc etc and every method I found online

2: delete any thing it will come back magically

3: can't write any thing on it through phone or pc

4: its not write protected since it has no lock but sd card formatter says its write protected and some times its used by another program (s) close it before format

That all I can remember right now you can ask any info and any kind of help will be greatly appreciated

P:S if somehow I can't use it can I do any thing which can destroy the data on it so I can get a replacement without worrying about my personal data.

Regards

Hi guys,sorry for the late response.Can you explain a bit more ? What do you mean by "can't format" ?Is it giving any "Error" ?

>Are you using XP or Windows 7 ?

>Did you run surface test using MiniTool Partition Wizard to check any read error in your SD card's memory blocks ?

>Again,If you have compatibility issues run the tool in compatibility mode.

If you are using Windows 7.Properties>Compatibility>Compatibility mode>Check(Run this program in compatibility mode for)>Select Windows 7 from dropdown menu>Apply>OK

>Try a USB card reader in place of adapter.

>Try this tool to format.https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4

HTH :good:
[Wildfire General] sza777:
No error it says format doesn't complete successfully in command prompt it stuck at 0%

Used 7 8 and 8.1

Yup surface test is clear using mini tool

Used 3 different usb readers all are working good on any other card

Used this tool also some time it says card is protected some times its it's been used by other application

Used almost all anti viruses as well

One more thing I found online is in latest cards there is function of cards becoming readonly when its about to die

I can del data but it comes back again again magically

Hoping for a solution to fix or to damage the card so it can't be read so I can get a replacement without worrying about my personal information and data saved on it

full new partition create

How to create full new partition on SD card (32GB)? Because formatting can't help (full format, overwrite all with zeroes). At the end of formatting programs say "Unable to complete format" or something like that. I tried all programs for formatting (including windows partition manager and linux formatter).
[Wildfire General] danimal53:
I'm having the exact same issue. Stuff cannot be deleted, multiple format tools say "unable to complete" or "not completed successfully" etc. When I try to delete items with the card in my phone, they initially disappear, but then come back.

I cannot add anything new to the card, and can't remove anything from it.

SDFormatter tool says "disk is write-protected" when it is not.

I've tried formatting on my samsung GS4, XP, Windows 7 using different card readers, no dice.

if i right click a folder on the sd card, and check properties, it does say "read-only", however it will not let me uncheck the box.

i get an error saying "volume is dirty" - run chkdsk, it goes through test and says successfull, yet still get dirty volume message

after trying different formatters, i can no longer access the card on XP, but it still works in windows 7

this whole time, i can still read and use files on the card (listen to music, photos, etc) but no write access and can't delete

seems to be a few issues 1. stuck in read-only (write-protected) 2. unable to format regardless of tool/OS/adapter 3. volume is dirty

still trying different approaches, any suggestions?
[Wildfire General] sza777:
I give up few days ago and got a replacement i think that is the only solution.

Regards
[Wildfire General] danimal53:
I did the same. My old card (the one all f'd up) is a Sandisk, and I read they had some "burn-in" issues with a number of them manufactured before a certain date (I forget when exactly). Supposedly they can be exchanged with Sandisk "no questions asked" so I'm going to look into that. New card I got is a Samsung.
[Wildfire General] sza777:
That makes me worried a bit

My old one was from toshiba now i got SanDisk ?
[Wildfire General] danimal53:
a really good review from someone on Amazon re: Sandisk cards... dont think im under warranty but still going to try for a replacement see what happens. if you just bought a sandisk card, hopefully its one that has the fix in it already

i can't post the link to amazon review, but its by user SkincareCEO

sd card problems

Hi. So I've been trying forever now to copy about 40gb of movies to an o2micro sd 64gb. At first everything is all fine and dandy but when i go back and check half the files disappeared but the space is still being used. It's exfat file system. This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a phone but I googled my problem and found this link. It's not my card, I was doing someone a favour. When I initially connected to my pc I couldn't even create a folder then when i removed it and tried again it asked to scan and fix so i did. Then it basically deleted half the folders and files that were already on there so i formatted it . Somehow after a good format it allowed me to create a folder so i was thinking ok problem solved but after copying the movies again they disappeared. I can't change it to ntfs because the table wont recognize it and I can't change it to FAT32 because the Format Tool is not detecting it either. Help Me :'(
[Wildfire General] maddlock:
I just registered to confirm it is not a joke. As funny as it may sound, I just resurrected a 32GB Kingston Micro SD card in the oven, 5 mins @ 220°C. Nearly all folders and files were there, only a few were corrupted, but I didn't actually mind.
[Wildfire General] MarkMRL:
Found this post by googling for SD Card issues, I have to alert you that using the HP Format Tool will most likely format your system hard drives because it gets the letters wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME.

First time I used it I selected my SD card drive letter, and a few moments later found out it formatted my most important data hard drive on the PC, which I managed to recover after an excruciatingly long process of googling, praying even though I'm an atheist, cursing myself for not having selected the right letter, and using various tools (eventually TestDisk recovered my partition with minimal losses). Then I tried it again QUADRUPLE CHECKING I had selected the right drive letter and AGAIN my main drive was lost, but this time I recovered the partition easily with TestDisk).

Maybe I've been unlucky but if you want my advice, don't even touch that accursed tool if you care for your hard drives. It gets the drive letters wrong and will end up writing a broken partition into your hard drive.

I've put mine in the oven for 15 min, as last resort, and it's now alive again!!! :))) i did not expect it !
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Sorry for the late response.Did you try GParted ?
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Getting the letters wrong ? That's strange :eek: Which version of the tool did you use and with which OS ?

I didn't face any problem with that tool on my Windows 7 PC.I have sucessfully formatted my SD Cards and USB drives sveral times with that tool.
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Try linux based tool GParted.

Malware threat...

Now I want to install the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool but don't want to have to turn off my UAC to do it because I am in the middle of dealing with a malware issue. Can you recomend anything that doesn't require me to turn on all administrative rights now? I can't seem to find anything. My card is backed up so I don't need anything to be salveged from it. It is being recognized by the mini partition tool which simply says it's a "bad card" but I can do nothing with it. The computer is not recognizing it at all. But my tablet does, though it does not think it's mounted, even though I can view all of the files, I cannot use them. I loaded Gparted, but being the noob that I am I haven't figured out how to use it...I also tried to download a formatter for my tablet but all of the useful ones want my tab to be rooted but I can't root my tablet until I fix the card... grrrrr. Any help would rock. Thank you.

Hi .... came across this thread via a google search.... been trying to format my 64GB micro SD card since forever but i haven't been able to.. the memory card seems okay, but each time i add any new data to the card it just corrupts the data.... and whenever i delete any data from the card it automatically returns..... its annoying.

hope this app works for me
[Wildfire General] micro chef:
Hi all,

just joined up to confirm that baking an unreadable micro sd card in the oven at 220 oC for 15 minutes worked for me and I have been able to retrieve all photo's, video's and music that was previously lost, I only tried as a last resort and didn't think it would work, but it does:laugh: My card did not show up in my phone's, tablet or windows computer so I was unable to use any software to retrieve or format the card, I was ready to accept that my files were lost and throw the card away but now glad I didn't, have now transferred all files to a new samsung class 10 card and will be making regular backups, hope this helps some body:cowboy:

16gb advance sd card keeps giving me headache

Pls I formatted an advance 16gb sd card using sd formatter tool (by sd association) on windows by using d option erase overite and format adjustment off

And now the write and even d read speed is slower (kilobytes and climbing to 2mb max) than how it was.

What did i do wrong?

And how can i restore it to the default write speed (about 30-75mb):crying: :crying:
[Wildfire General] nokia.vertu2@gmail.com:
Just out of the blue today, had a 16GB Transcend Class 8 Micro SD that was giving trouble, as in not being detected in Android and causing the PC (Win7 & Win10) to hang whenever the card is either in the SD Card Adapter -> PC Card Reader as well as USB Card Reader -> PC USB Port.

Was almost on the verge of throwing that SD Card away when I plugged it into my Camcorder.

Camcorder prompted a "Card not formatted" error and suggested a format, pressed Format and Voila! Card is fully functional again!

As previously noted by OP, SD Card Adapters and USB Card Readers seem to be the main cause of the problem of Data Corruption and Death of Card.

I've got a whole bunch of them laying on my desk and so far have experienced high margin of errors with data transferred via the SanDisk SD Adapter. I'll test my HP and AData SD Adapters at a later stage for stability, but can currently confirm my ACER USB 2.0 Card reader to be reliable.

Format your card using HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and after that run surface test.

Hi! I'm having a weird problem on my sdcard. When I start copying an mp3 file to the sdcard its shows the progress and when completes there are many possible things that could happen.

Sometimes the mp3 file its unplayable with 0kbps 0hz whitout tags (but the file is there, it isnt hidden).

Some files are copied wrong, and the song cuts unexpectedly when i'm playing it.

And sometimes when i go to the folder on my sdcard it says, "empty folder".

The folders I want to copy to sd from the computer sometimes shows that are empty too..

I tried formating the card with a lot of programs but it keeps doing the same stuff..

Please help me!!

Hope this is the right place for a new discussion. I have a 32GB G. Skill Micro SD card in an adapter that I've been using in my camera. I've been using it in this camera for some time. I was taking pictures, then all of a sudden, I got a message of "card error" on my camera. I can't even use the sd card in my laptop because it won't open up. Can someone help me? I hate the thoughts of this card being bad, if it is, any suggestions on a decent sd card?
