The reader may need re-iinstalling. or the port you are putting it in is incorrect,. try another stick to test the port or try the memory card in another PC to confirm the stick is OK

SOURCE: pc not recognizing sandisk micro sd

The Card Reader you are using is probably not compatible with SDHC Memory Cards (High Capacity SD). You may need to get an SCHC compatible reader or check the website for your product to see if the is a driver update. You can get a new reader for about $20 bones if needed. I had the same issue.

SOURCE: I purchased a 4GB Sandisk

your samsung Gravity 2 wont read the HC format, there is not much you can do sorry. the SD HC is a newer format for devices in the last year or so. Older devices will not accept the HC format cards. I did the same thing! And im in the business, easy mistake. Keep it around though you'll use it soon, just not in your Samsung. Gurvy

Testimonial: "thank you, I realize this was the case... in my opinion, the SD/HC card manufacturers should put a warning on the packaging. I did get my money back. "

My computer wont format my micro sd card

Is it an SD card or a microSD card? If it's a 4GB (or larger) card then it's neither, but instead an SDHC or a microSDHC.

If the card is an SDHC/microSDHC then your card reader may be only SD-compatible. If this is the case then you can buy an SDHC-compatible card reader and use that. Alternatively, if you want to use this card with some other device, such as a camera or a phone, format the card in that device instead of in your computer.

4gb sd card not format problam format uncomplet

I'm assuming you are having a problem formatting the memory card?

The soultion would be to connect it to a PC or laptop that has a card reader installed, then format the card via Windows.

If it is a micro SD card, you may need an adapter to convert it to a SD card.

Thanks,

Onknown format

The SD card format only goes to 2Gb, anything after this, is an SDHC.  You are obviously trying to use this with an R4 card or similar... These will only accept micro SD, and not micro SDHC

Motorola SLVR won't format my memory card.

I am not sure this will work, just a suggestion

Try inserting the micro sd card in the larger sd adapter that will allow you to put it into your computer reader. Try formatting it there instead

I ve bought a new meory micro sd 4Gb card for my

Be careful, if you use the USB cord to plug the phone up make sure that your not formatting the entire phone.

Did the Micro SD card come with the bigger card to plug it into making it a standard size SD card ? If so then you can plug that into a card reader if you have one go into MY Computer, and right click on the drive of the SD card click format.

Those are the only other ways of solving said problem if you can't do so on the phone itself. Also the phone may not accept a memory card of such size.

Kingston 4gb sd card won't read

I had a problem with lenovo's reader like this, because i put in the nokia 6600 card, correct format and all, but apparently too old and not yet ment to be read by a computer ...

sd could still be hc ... the system of names is still not set up right. if you got a small black attachment for the card that makes it longer, put it on and try inserting the card again.

check if all the drivers are like they should be.

if you've got a friend with a card reader, make sure the card is ok. and if you've got a friend with a card, make sure the reader is like it's supposed to be

post a feedback, ok

Nokia N96 Corrupt Card

Open the card on your PC and copy all your files to a folder on your desktop. Then go to my computer, right click the memory card and format. When a little window appears just click start.

If your files are deleted then paste them from your desktop back onto your card. This should fix the problem.
