Try this!
hello. If you are trying to format your sd card with window xp or windows XX. you will never use your sd card in any camera, pocket pc, palm again.
If your computer can not format your sd card, there are 2 possibilities:
1. Your memory chip is damaged
2. You can try to creat boot image using XDA tool and put it in to your XDA. Finally create a boot image. Now. Romve the sd card and plug it in the XDA again, your XDA will ask you to format it. IF not, your memory chip is damaged. Good luck!
i had issues with not being able to format my sd card under winXP

Thanks but that's not what I means.
In my case, when I format the SD card (quick format) by the laptop, it works with only the laptop. When I format the SD card (quick format) by my pocket PC, it works with only my pocket PC.
The SD card works pretty well separately on each device.
The 2 devices cannot use the same fomarted SD card.
That's the problem.
use pocket mechanics to see what the xda format the sd card to fat32 fat16 or ???
see what the laptop format the card to fat32 or fat16 or NTFS
the xda cant real ntfs at all
and some sd readers have problems with fat16 or 32 i forget

..but it's still in trouble
I bought a Sandisk 8gb micro sd card from Costco and loaded it into the phone. I'm assuming the phone automatically formats the card? Is there any way of checking what format the card is on the phone? I don't have a PC. Thanks!
hi there! so my xoom was unlocked, rooted and loaded with tiamac kernel 1.6GHZ
i have 16gb mini-sd but when hooking up on windows im seeing only external and showing its only 145mb??? am i missing something? please help
thanks in advance
the removable SD card in the xoom is supposed to found at sdcard/external. that part is correct. you may need to properly format your external SD card. you can try removing from the xoom, and format it fat32 in windows or using a program like Panasonic SD card formatted. you could also format it in an android phone. remember it is not hot swappable, so you will need to reboot or have the xoom powered off when putting the card back in.
Anyone know what the phone's behavior will be when I insert an SD Card? Usually I would want to format the card with the phone if I'm going to keep it in there 100% of the time. But right now, I'll be removing it now and then.
Can I just plug it in, and the phone will recognize the directories that I already have on the card if the card was originally formatted in Windows? Obviously I can back up my SD Card first, format it on the phone, and move my stuff back to the card after.. Just wondering what the best way to go about this is. I haven't had a phone with an SD Card slot since my GSIII.
As long as the card is exFAT format it shouldn't be an issue. It will detect any media in it and display it accordingly (well should).
If the card is NTFS formatted, it won't work
if it a fat32 memory card you can cross-swap as much you want. You do not need to format on the phone... I never really did ...
I pulled my SD card out of the Note 7 and dropped it into the V20. No problems.
Cool. Thanks!
Will the card once inserted be encrypted or can it remain unencrypted in the v20 ?
I have a samsung 256GB Evo card, and i just installed a new rom this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-natf-1-00-test-5-debloated-stock-t3509750
So i seen the little sd icon and i tap on it and it said my sd card is corrupted and needs to be formated. so i put into my computer and copied all the data before i wiped. I formated the SD on windows for extfat and put the card into my v20 and boot it up and i got the same error message. so i went ahead and formatted it using the phone. Plugged the card back into my computer and it shows it was formatted in fat32 format. which is strange. anyway i reformatted it again in windows and put the card back in the phone and got the same thing.
Anyone using this card or phone can verify if your v20 formats the card in fat32 format and let me know. if not anyway to fix it?
