For Guys who have issues with SD Cards (Formatting,Mounting,Errors,Corruption or even Death of Card) :

A full format (uncheck quick format)running HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool is recommended.

Moreover,never ever use SD card Adapters for formatting.Always USB card readers as they are more efficient.

Generic operating system formatters don’t provide the optimum performance.And,sometimes,can result into SD card death and less picture-saving space.

Full format once in awhile is recommended to prevent possible corrupt files, lengthen the life of the card and achieve the most available space possible.

This tool is compatible with Windows XP and vista however Windows 7 users can run this tool in Compatibility mode for Windows 7 by going through :

Cheers!!!:good:
[Wildfire General] .xxx.:
1 question man. One of my sd card doesnt even read when i insert it to pc. Will this software solve the problem? I think the sd card is corrupt.

Sent from Hell!!
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Yep,a full format(uncheck quick format) using this tool should solve your problem.I was facing the same issue with one of my cards.

Don't used SD card Adapter for formatting,use a USB card reader.Hope it will get your card back in action.:D

You can also run surface test using MiniTool Partition Wizard to check any read error in your SD card's memory blocks.

(Right click on your card>surface test)

Good luck:good:

Can we foormat or reinstall an death usb micro sd adapter ?
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Sorry,I didn't get you.

SD adapter is used to make your micro SD usable on normal SD slot devices.It is not any type of memory.

If you are reffering to a dead micro SD card,a full format (uncheck quick format) using this tool might fix your problem.

Always use USB card readers for the formatting process.
[Wildfire General] eventcom:
I don't want to be a smart-ass here but seriously... Initially I thought you'd mean a card reader with "SD adapter"... if you're speaking about micro sd adapters: nothing wrong to use those as it's just a kind of "connector extension" - the only thing that might go wrong is that the slot has a mechanical problem. That usually would end up in getting nothing formatted :rolleyes:

Anyway thx for the hint with the application - could become useful some time :D
[Wildfire General] Pator57:
ho ****.And yes i was talking about an micro sd adaptater who died..
[Wildfire General] THE-M1GHTY-BUKO:
After an update of the play store my phone registered my card as being "not recognized"

Is this likely to fix the problem? - My computer recognizes the micro sd...
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
What is the size of your SD card ?Probably,it's running out of space.

Format your card from within the phone settings first(Settings > Storage).

You will need this tool if that doesn't help.
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
LOL,this tool can't fix your dead adapter.:silly:You need a new adapter.
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
:DYeah,of course,you can transfer files using adapters but USB card reader is recommended for the formatting process.

This tool was created specifically for HP USB devices so only a USB SD card reader can be used as interface device.

The most amazing thing about this tool is ,it does a very deep cleansing.While other formatting tools take 3-4 mints to format an 8GB SD card,this tool takes 4-5 hours to ensure most efficient formatting.I have used and verified this tool personally.Using generic formatting utilities don’t provide optimal performance for your SD cards.

I just thought it might be good to list a tip that might help others with their SD card issues.:cool:
[Wildfire General] TheRisingDragon:
I wonder :S

Hi :) I have a 8GB MicroSD card, suddenly it went slow down.. I formatted it using various applications but it doesn't affect :( it takes so long to paste a file(s) I dunno but it ask around 25 minutes to paste a 250MB file and sometimes it increases to hours.. I didn't even found any bad sectors.. every sector is ok but it's useless without fast data writing.. anyone ever faced this type of matter? :crying:

I NEED HELP!!! I have a 32gb micro sd card and the above process does not work.
[Wildfire General] massofsin:
Why is this here? Shouldn't it be somewhere like hardware and software hacking or something...

Anyway dont use adapters makes no sense, like that one guy just said: Its just ... ...

However im not on sense rom so i may make no sense myself :D
[Wildfire General] alamgirqazi:
Hi

I need some help. I think my 2gb sdcard got corrupted and my willy doesnot reads it anymore although i have tried another sdcard and it works.

So problem is with sdcard. My computer wont recognise it too ( i tried it with my wildfire not with any card reader or adaptor )

I download that hp exe file but how can it work if my pc doesn't reads sdcard ?

Is there a way that i can use any software and plug sdcard in an adaptor ? And format it etc ?

Because i dont own an adaptor or a usb card reader. I'll probably lend an adaptor today but for usb card reader i'll have to wait for a day or two :(

I really need my sdcard working :(

Now i have 2 corrupted sdcards.

2gb card and 4 gb card.

Btw will my pc read the sdcard or show it if i use an adaptor ? Coz i've never used it before.
[Wildfire General] Wasimk32:
I doubt it'll help!

This tool was designed to format flash drives and it does a deep format,which is helpful in removing problematic partitions from those drives(sd cards).

I have been using this tool for good 2 years now,it has helped me curing pen drives,sd cards which were already readable on windows.(cured issues like i/o errors,cyclic redundancy issue,etc.).But if windows doesnt read it then I doubt it'll help. :(

Try with some linux system if you have.But,you can consider your card to be dead sadly.
[Wildfire General] alamgirqazi:
Nooooo :eek::(:(:(

I cant just let go 2 sd cards go away easily and also i've no extra sdcard at the moment. And i doubt i'll get another one soon.

I dont have a Linux OS but i think there's gotta be a way. I searched alot so far but had no luck uptill now. :(

My suggestion to everyone: PLEASE TAKE SOMETIME OUT OF YOUR LIFE AND ALWAYS REMOVE THE SDCARD SAFELY.

Please some more suggestions guyz.
[Wildfire General] Wasimk32:
Exactly!

This shows you the importance of spending those 2-3 seconds in removing it safely and also having backups of your stuff!
[Wildfire General] alamgirqazi:
Yeah :(
[Wildfire General] Ankyclutin:
I cant do that , when using that tool it says "Failed to format the device". Plzzzz helllpppp :(
[Wildfire General] alamgirqazi:
As long as your pc detects sdcard you dont need to worry.
[Wildfire General] optimusodd:
Read the first post carefully.

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

OR use MiniTool Partition Wizard

:good:

HELP!

I'll explain everything that happened

I installled cm 9 build 11 and everything was fine

the sd card partition i already created was gone

so i decided to re-partition...

i did it using cwm as i dont have a sd card reader and everything went on fine

but when i rebooted it i couldn't find any the partitions

so i formatted and tried everything but nothing worked

I went into recovery and found the format sd option and did it hoping it will work

when i rebooted i got notification that sd card is safe to remove

and it doesn't read... i tried mouting and it doesn't even mount !

Plz Help!

And also it refuses to accept my sd card when i plug to my pc

Will this help ?
[Wildfire General] johnlohit1996:
CAn i do this while directly plugging my phone to a pc?? i dont have an sd reader rite now ...
[Wildfire General] alamgirqazi:
I wont recommended u using with a phone.
[Wildfire General] slurpy1:
I agree with the ppl having trouble with the OP insisting that you can't use an adapter. By adapter, I take it to mean the thing you plug the micro-SD into to convert it into a full-size SD. These things have no electronics inside them, they are nothing but a plug and socket wired together. I am unable to see how this device could introduce any issues unless one of the contacts was faulty, in which case it would not work at all. I have never had such a trouble.

Getting back to the original problem, some here, I think, are trying to get the point across that their card is not even recognized by the OS and therefore none of this is of any use. Does anybody know of a way to get access to a card that is in this state? Plugging it into any kind of reader has the same effect as not plugging it in.

I have two like this, one is a Sandisk 64GB SDXC card that I tried to reformat to FAT32 using the very tool so highly recommended here. The other is a 64GB unbranded card I got off ebay that went wobbly after more than 32GB was copied to it. I finally worked out that it was a 32GB that had been rigged to look like 64. That card had some irreplaceable photos on it. It behaves exactly like the Sandisk one, i.e. as if it isn't there. I would love to hear from anybody who has managed to recover from any similar situation.
[Wildfire General] jb789:
I think you're spot-on, slurpy, using or not using an adapter is irrelevant, and formatting tools won't help for some forms of damage. I've got a microSD that won't allow any write or format action using any software under any OS I have access to (Windows, DOS, Linux, Android). I've tried the HP tool, the official SD Association Formatter, various flavors of DBAN, & even GParted, along with many others. Thankfully, my card is still "sort of" recognized by Windows, and I was able to recover most of my files using Recuva. There are many other free data recovery tools available, but I found Recuva to be the best balance of usability & results for Windows. Maybe it'll work for you, if not, try PhotoRec.
[Wildfire General] outlandmoro:
This worked for me..

Hi, i dont know if this is precisely related, but I had problems with the external microSD card, as it showed as "Blank SD card".

I used SD card adapter, and formatted in PC to NTFS ( <-- dont know if u need to do this step), then put it into the mobile (Galaxy S3), then i booted into CWM Recovery -> mount and storage -> format external sd .. After that my external SD card is available.. Kinda noob, but fixed the "blank SD card" problem for me though..

Fix dead micro sd!

"Woke up this morning and my 32g class 10 Monster Micro SD was completely dead! No reader, cell phone or adapter could read it! It simply would not show up on any hardware! After searching a LOT!!! I found an advice and decided to try it and it worked. Pre-heat an oven to 240 degrees and bake the card for 15 minutes. I put the card on a spoon with the metal contacts facing up. It worked! So simple it should be easier to find... "

In order to recover my Android TV box I've tried to copy a recovery image on to my 16GB SD card using a tool called HDD RAW Copy.

Having not been able to recover my TV box, I also haven't been able to reformat my SD card back to its original size. Windows 7 only reads 3.68GB while its actual size should be ~16GB. I have tried to wipe all of its data and see if there were any hidden partitions. I have used EASEUS Partition Manager and a couple other tools for that, but those couldn't find any hidden partitions. Formatting the SD card to NTFS didn't make a difference in size either.

I am quite out of ideas. Can anyone help?

PLEASE HELP!
[Wildfire General] Stone. Cold:
Hmm... your SD card has some issues

I got a solution ;)

Hopefully might help ;)

Things you will need.

A memory stick that has micro SD plugin, this is where you take your SD card from your phone to your memory stick

All done, next you will have to plug it in the computer in the USB section which you already know :)

If you don't have any errors then quickly take all the things from your SD card and place it somewhere safe on your computer/laptop

All done? Good :)

Now then give your SD card a completely new wipe so its good to go

To check if its working, just plugin micro SD onto your phone, hopefully it will then show preparing SD card which is good?

Take it out and plugin the memory stick, add all your backed up files to your SD card

Then take the micro SD card plugin the phone, to check if your files are back just use file manager

Is this it?
[Wildfire General] edd89:
..

i already did that its not even recognized on My PC or any PC/laptop, it only reads the USB CARD reader.that the problem

Hi, I would like to know if this HP tool will help me setting the correct information into the size headings of a sd card.

I mean, I've got a card that is marked as 64gb size, but h2testw reports that only 8gb are correct, and the other looses the data.

So I'm trying to give back to the sd card the correct information, which is 8gb, because I think it will be usable.

If this HP tool doesn't fit my needs, is there any other software that would help me out? Thank you.

I have 64GB class 10 Kingston and mistakenly got formatted on rom update. I recovered the files from it via diskdrill(mac) and formatted it to fat, exfat with pc and phone many times. The card is accessed by phone and show normally. But the problem is transfer speed, which is dead slow and nowhere close to how it used to be either from phone or pc. None seems to get back the old transfer speed now. Secondly when i transferred a 1gb folder with 76 mp3 files from pc, onle 3 were shown by phone. Dont know what has happened to it and how get it back to work like before. Any suggestions would be highly thanked.

unable to format sd card or do anything

hey guys! i bought an sd cars 32gb Sandisk. i inserted in my phone and was working. i put the card in the usb adapter that was with card and then on my pc. i started transfering my files but all of a sudden it says that i need to format the sd card and that the sd had write protection. i tried to format the card but it says windows was anaible to complete the format. i tried to remove the protection using cmd but nothing happens. i tried sd formatter, and the disk management. still nothing. and my phone doesn't recognize the card anymore. i mounted it in my camera and said the card is not ready. and when i try to format i have ntsf and exfat as options and not fat32. oh.. and when i used sd formatter, although the card is 32gb it said 64gb the first time and when i retry it it said 1tb!! lol! and now it says nothing at all. just blank.

i don't know what to do... help me...

thanks in advance!!
[Wildfire General] Wasimk32:
Unfortunately, your card is of no use. You can do nothing to fix it. The card goes in write protection mode when there are too many bad sectors, it does it to prevent further damage. In your case i guess all the sectors were damaged already. USB adapters cannot be trusted these days, especially cheap ones.

Still I'll suggest you to do a surface test in minitool partition wizard, might just help hopefully.

I need some help

I have a 32GB G.SKILL micro SD that I guess my phone killed. When I put it in my computer nothing happens, no device I have can read it. They all show that there is nothing there like I haven't even plugged anything in yet. I tried using the format tool posted before but I cant do anything but open it because it dose not see that i have the card plugged in. I don't know a great deal about computers, electronics or these little devices but i was wondering if my card is done for or if it can be salvaged and if so can you tell me how.
