So I just received my Transformer this afternoon, and formated my micro sd card to ntfs with default allocation. I plug it into the transformer and storage settings shows up for micro sd card as unavailable. So my question is does SD card work straight out of the box? Or do I need to do something to it?

mine works without any problems, try doing a fat format to the card rather than a ntfs
so yeah looks like fat 32 works and ntfs doesn't >_< thanks man.
For future reference, NTFS only works with Windows (for the most part)
Hello guys
I need help with this problem. Recently I bought a 64 GB sd card. When inserted the SD card into the tablet, it tells me that i have to format. When I tell it to format, it does nothing but get stuck at "Unmounting SD Card". I then inserted the sd card into a reader and connected the reader to the my PC. I formatted the SD card with SDFormatter 4. Once the formatting(Overwrite) was done, I then stuck the SD card into my tablet again. Still didnt want to mount the card and requires to format it.
Any one know the problem? And know how to fix it?

There is quite a bit of discussion on this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611681
Post #106 on this thread explains why Sandisk class 10 cards have trouble while the class 6 cards behave. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460201&page=11
Is there any other formatting software that will allow me to change the SD card from exFAT to FAT32?

Which card do you have? Sandisk or other? Class 10, class 6, or?
I went through two class 10 cards before I got a class 6 card. I formatted the class 6 card with "FAT32 Formatter" from Ridgecrop and that one has been in use since October of last year.

I got the same error in the past with a PNY 32Gb Class 6, the solution, find a Camera which supports SD (use an adapter) and format the SD from there and Voila!! SD Fixed
well i solved the problem. i had to manually update to ics(Austrian) since south africa doesnt give out updates... Well ics formated the card and now got 64gb class 10 working

Interesting - I assume you're running an MTN GT7+... Does it recognize the entire 64GB as usable? (Just curiosity; I really don't need anything bigger than a few GB in my P6210.)

I found a less drastic solution tucked in the VZW S3 section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735
I recently purchased the SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card for my Verizon Galaxy S3. When I put it into my phone (I am running CM 10.1), it automatically formatted the card to FAT32. Then I wanted to put movies on my card, but I couldn't put files over 4gb on the phone because it was FAT32. So then I formatted the card to exFAT because you could put big files on the card with that format, but my phone said "SD card is black or has unsupported filesystem." I thought that the GS3 supported exFAT? Is it that CM 10.1 doesn't support exFat? I was wondering how to fix this or how I could put these big movie files on my phone.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

This is exactly your problem, don't use AOSP so I can't verify this working, but this should do it.

hey guys! i bought an sd card 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!!
