I have put the card I used to use in my Raphael in to my HD2 and yes it saw it for a few seconds then 'poof' as if by magic it was gone! After trying several times cleaning the contacts etc I gave up.
Then I realised it was FAT32 and the newer 2GB card that was shipped with the phone was FAT format. So I wiped the card and reformatted to the FAT. Now its just not seeing it at all. Hmmm
I bought the SanDisk 8GB card with HC so it would be faster to access.... is this messing it up?
ANY IDEAS ITS DRIVING ME MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
try to format it with the Control Panel> Administrative Tools> commputer Management> Disk Management
formatted sd card
Yeah thats how I did it originally, not its just freezing up everything that I put the card into.
DOH, HELP!
ne1 got ideas?
FAT support only storage up to 2GB, FAT32 2-32GB. So it has to be FAT32.
Try SD-hotfix for HD2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602527
I recomend Panasonic SDformatter 2.0 to clear your card (FAT32)

I have a 2gb SD card that was working, but I thought I would be clever and use the SD reader in my Tosh so that I could transfer large files more easily to the card for my exec. But when I was asked to format my card by Toshiba's software, I went through the process and thought it was successful. But then at end of process the phrase "Please stop a SD memory card, then insert the card again" came up, so took card out, re-entered it in the reader and tried to attempt to transfer files to it. However windows then told me that it was not formatted and would I like to format it. So yes, I do, but although windows formatted it, it reduced the capacity from 2gb to 956 mb or thereabouts. It was recognised by the exec again, but with severe consequences as never bought a 1 gb card.
Help please...
Sounds to me like your card reader doesn't read cards bigger than 1 GB. I had the same issue with my 4 GB card. Tried it with a different reader and the PC saw all 4 gigs, never asking me to format. See if you can try a newer SD card reader?
The same thing happened to me with a 1 gigabyte pcmcia card. It was working fine in my laptop then I put it in the card slot on an Ipaq and it also did a format. The card is now exactly half the memory it should be and no way can I get it to work as a 1 gig card even though I have tried formatting on the pc.
I have found that my 2GB card formatted on my Palm LifeDrive was not readable on my laptop. When I formatted using a Toshiba format utility the space on the card was down to 1GB. It did work okay on my JJ. I had to re-format it on my Palm and then for reason it was okay again and could be read by my laptop - I did not use any card readers as the laptop has a built-in reader. And I re-formatted on my laptop using XP format softwsre and the 2GB storage was retained.
@Wannabe, have you got access to another PC or card reader to reformat your card. Also I found WM5 file managers could not reformat and regain the lost capacity
been on to Tosh
Toshiba are extremely helpful...not! Told me to get another card and see if that works as it might not accept the card. This is a Sandisk card which I believe is made by Toshiba...or at least in collaboration. Am going to check Sandisk for an answer as well...keep the ideas coming please
Hi there.
Try reading this post i made ages ago about formatting and re-newing your sd cards. It might help. It is regarding my 512mb sd card, but the principles are the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21920&highlight=lydiachris
I strongly recommend using media recover, even if it's only a trial version to "wipe" your sd card to re-new it to it's factory condition. It covers and re-formats the whole card sector by sector.
http://www.mediarecover.com/
Give it a go and let us know.

lydiachris
If none of the other suggestions work then try this program that I posted on another thread:-
SDFormatter.zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30900&highlight=
Use it with a card reader, follow instructions and your PPC should be able to read the full capacity.
SanDisk have taken back card...
Thanks for the suggestions, will keep in mind for future. Sandisk took back the card and found that it had become corrupted so have sent out another one. tks for suggestions though.
Hi,
i have a new sandisk 2GB microSD card in my hermes. Because i have no card reader for my pc i want to format the card in my hermes.
Is it possible to do so? I cant found any option for formating.
The hermes says in settings >> memory that no card is installed.
I thing it is because the card is unformated.
I do so, but there is no storage card.
The mobile device also says that there is no storage card.
I know that Resco File explorer can format the card but most cards are formatted fat by default. The Hermes at least recognises this. If you're not even getting the sd card recognised then there may be either a problem with the card or with the Hermes.
It would be best to just fork over a few bucks and get a card reader for the pc as if the pc is recognising the sd card that means that the Hermes may have a problem. Try formatting FAT32 anywaty then put back into Hermes. May work.
If the pc doesn't recognise the sd card, does happen that new cards go bang, then I'd suggest taking the card back and getting a new one.
Cheers...
8gB micro SD
Hello,
I have the same problem. My 1gB card works fine in my Hermes but the new 8gB is not recognized. Spec says phone can only take maximum of 2gB but other forums say can use 32gB. My latest clue is that the card was preformatted with FAT32 and the Hermes requires FAT. However FAT can only deal with Volumes up to 4gB. So I stumped.
If you read a bit further you'd realise that these people with 32 Gb cards run custom roms which have the patch applied...
There is a cab file running around that allows you to run sdhc cards on WM 5/6 but I can't remember what its called (try sdhc patch in search)...
hi all
i inserted a 4gb sd card into the dock slot. it was taken straight out of a Canon Powershot S5IS...and it didn't work
havent tried other sd cards
havent checked what format the card is in
i did try rebooting the transformer
did try undocking and then redocking
so hows sd card compatibility? what are your experiences?
i think it only reads it in FAT format.
It reads FAT32 from the miniSD port.
The SD Card Reader on the right side will read FAT and FAT32 formats but it wont read NTFS (for now).
Try putting your SD Card into your pc (if you can), then right click on it and select properties to see how its been formatted.
Mark.

The dock's SD card reader will and does read NTFS. It has since day one on stock or custom kernels............. Guess what it reads SDXC Sd cards too..........

@OP: I know you know but just in case. If/when you format, you will lose everything on the card.
well thank you guys. seems im the only one with sd card issues lol
im just going to have to try changing formats and try formatting..
i just presumed that a sd card pulled out of an older digicam would be in fat32 haha

I hope it works for you. I did test with 3 cards, two old Sandisk (1GB & 2GB) and a new Sandisk 64GB SDXC. They all worked with FAT32 and NTFS and on stock and custom kernels, but I've seen some people having some problems with certain cards and classes of cards. Please post your findings. Good Luck
I got the following cards:
Transcend Secure Digital 64GB SDXC SDXC, SD 3.0, Class 10
Lexar MicroSDHC Card 32GB w/USB reader Class 10, High speed SDHC card with USB reader
The dock reads the SD card formated to NTFS fine (have not tryed to format it to another filesystem)
But the MicroSD card in the tablett itselfe only reads FAT32, and not exFAT or NTFS.
But there are several of You that got tablets that read Your MicroCD cards that are formated to NTFS?

Allow me:
http://www.tuxera.com/partners/operating-systems/ (NTFS, exFAT and HFS+)
and
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/TF101_Full_0418d.pdf (page 45 "Tuxera software provides support for NTFS format.")
Considering it actually allowed me to read an HFS+ usb stick....
So, unless there is some weird implementation, it should read those file systems also from the SD card reader.
ext3,ext4 is also supported.
I just tried NTFS on the MicroSD and it was a no go for me. I also tried ext3,ext4 (I'm somewhat new linux ) and that didn't work for me either. That could be me lol. So only FAT32 work for me on the MicroSD
On the SDcard. I could only get FAT32 and NTFS to work.
I tried this with stock .9 (3.0.1), 8.4.4.5 and 8.4.4.7 (3.1). Then with Prime 1.4 (3.1).
The cards I tried:
MicroSD: 3 - Sandisk 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB. I think the classes are 4, 4 and 2
SDcards: 3 - Sandisk 1GB, 2GB, and 64GB SDXC
I'm not saying the other filing systems don't work. I'm just posting what i tried.

Good to read that it's not only me that got problems with the MicroSD card not being willing to work witht he NFTS filesystem.
I recon this is something that Asus can fix with an firmwareupdate?
Anyone tried with USB sticks and external harddrives on NTFS file system?
I gues it should not be any dirrefence between A USB stick and an external HD
wow..
im going to give my problem sd card another go this weekend
well the first thing i plugged in was actually my external hdd. this was just a cheap enclosure with fake "VAIO" lettering on it. it relies on a erm...driver(?) called "USB to IDE Bridge" whenever it's plugged into Windows.
worked flawlessly
interesting...
my Sandisk 4gb SDHC simply refuses to work in NTFS
im guessing this is a problem between different card manufacturer and file system combo
but i can't prove it as i don't have too many sd cards lying around.
well at least i'm glad my sd card works now. i shoved it back into the camera formatted as FAT and the cam can use it just fine.
I'm pretty sure I did copy some files over to the MicroSD card when I hade formated it to NTFS before I tryed it on the TF
Not sure now tho so I will do a new test.
But if I am correct it got nothing to do with the card and the filesystem, rather with the TF and filesystems on different card-slots wich I find strange that they let it read one filesystem in one place and not in another place on the tablett.
I had HD2 with WP7 7720 4GB SD Card
Decide and bought 16 GB SD Card
Inserted it and when started phone it stucks after 1 2 3 4 5 GO GO GO
Reinstall WP7 Yuki 7720 with 16GB in
Now phone recognize 3,47 GB instead of 14.8GB
Any Fix ?
Is your sd card recognized by a computer? If so I would reformat the card.
when i bouught it i put it in a card reader
card have been already formatted but i perform format again
after i have install wp7 now windows can see it but neither opened it, neither formatted it
Try a hard reset again and see if WP7 picks up the rest of the space on the card. Of course, use the dev_storagelock cab to free up the card and see what you can do with it on your computer.
What kind of SD card are you using? WP7 is very picky.
My first card was a Kingston 4GB class 2 and it caused high battery drain.
My second card was a Kingston 16GB class 4 and it wouldn't even boot into WP7.
I'm now using a fantastic PNY 16GB class 4.
The brand/size/class of your SD card really matters.
try this
I had no proble with my Lexar 8GB Class4; then i tried my Mustang 16GB Class10 and WP7 stated that was incompatible.....
So I decided to make a try; inserted in my PC and run SDFormatter (from Panasonic) and made a full format (i.e. format full with erase ON) .
After that WP7 accepted my SD card, and apparently it is ok....hope it lasts...

Well.
Micro SD Card HC Kingston Class 4 16GB
I think the problem is in the card.
When I try to format it with PC Windows 7 I can't normally to format it to NTFS
Only FAT32. Now trying different programs to format it, but when phone starts it freezes on logo about 10-20 minutes after that starts with error for SD Card.
Last I tryed is formatting card with Nokia E52. Leo starts wp7 normal but in Settings -> About only 50 MB free storage. I will try one2one69 what said.

Is this device is card reader?
Like alot of you, I recently had alot of trouble with my sandisk 64gb micro sd card. this fix is pretty easy but it worked for me! so check it out:
you need two programs: SD formatter( can be found on the sandisk website) and easeus partiton master( you can use any program that lets you format partitions)
you will also need the sd card adapter to put you micro in, and an sd card reader
Step 1: connect your sandisk 64gb microsd card to the computer with the adapter it came with in the box. My laptop has the sd card reader built in
I dont think it will work unless you connect it this way.
Step 2: open sd formatter, it should have recognized your card if not click refresh. after its recognized click Options and set format type to full (overwrite) format the sd card. this will take a long while so you might wanna go watch tv or something?
step 3 : after its done formatting open partition master and right click on the sd card and format it to fat32. your going to have to click apply on the top right hand corner for it to work
you should be set. DONT FORMAT IN THE ANDRIOD SETTINGS. for some reason when ever i fixed the micro and tried formatting it in my phone it would mess up everything thing again.
I keep a 32 gb in my s4 now and use my 64 in my note 10.1 because i need the space there more. Let me know if this works for you!

It really depends on the troubles you have, most of them are some kind of incompatibility with the S4 firmware and the 64GB SD card and formating this will not help. My issue was each time i'd put music on my SD, my system status would trip to custom, also my music would not always show up at boot. This has been a recurring problem with the sandisk cards no matter how i formated it. And yes, i did use SDFormater 4.0 and still had the issue. My only solution was to get a Samsung 64GB SD and no issues since
Sometimes mine removes itself, but a media rescan or reboot fixes it. Doesn't really bother me.
I use a 64gb PNY class10 and its flawless for me.I think the issue is witg the sandisk bran.

Figured this is a good thread to post my experience.
I had a MicroSD card I thought was bad. What happened was I was formatting the device to ext4 at the time using a older microSD USB adapter i had. Basically, the microSD card reader died while it was in that process. Using a microSD > SDAdater and a built in SD card slot on my laptop I was unable to format the drive in Windows or MacOS. (I was formatting the device via the USB reader on my Desktop in Ubuntu). Ubuntu does not see my card reader on my laptop so I was unable to use that). I thought I killed it. It was a SanDisk microSDXC 64gb card.
So I ordered a new Samsung microSDXC and a new microSDXC USB card reader. I got them both. New card worked great. I decided to play with the card a bit. Using Ubuntu, gparted specifically, with the new adapter I could no create or modify partitions on the old microSD card. It would fail out every time, different errors for ext4, exFAT and Fat32. So. In Gparted I went to Device > Write new partition table.After I did that I would able to format the drive in Ubuntu to whatever filesystem I wanted, and the card works in the phone, mac, windows, everything.
Just a heads up to help any others with issues. Rewriting the partition table may help if somehow it gets corrupt because of some write fail,
I ve 2 64gb sandisk 10x microsd with Samsung S4 I9005 with Android 4.3. I formatted with android, also Windows 7 64bit with various types of sizes on laptop. However on laptop or on phone after writing some files and disk scanning, it gives many disk errors. I wonder if it is software or microsd hardware problems. There is no problem with 32 gb.

Found the Culprit!
Considering I encountered this write protect error TWICE with the exact same product, and after having read forums that show it's a common problem, I conclude that the problem is with either this specific SanDisk product or a particular batch of this product:
Exact product specs: SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A)
These carry a lifetime warranty. A word of advice: if you go for a replacement, ask for a different 64GB model, or try a different size of the same model (I got 2 x 32GB cards instead). If they insist on giving back the exact same model, I'd suggest you use that card anywhere except a smartphone!
