Hi. I have a 64gb sdxc sandisk sd card. I want to format it to fat32. I've read on the net that you can do it only if you have an sd card reader. Unfortunately I don't own and sd card reader. Is there any way I can format the sd card directly while connecting the tab to the computer without the help of any sd card reader?
Thanks.

Yes I did it this way.
You'll need the app SGS3 Easy UMS (available here at xda)
and the PC program guiformat.
The first one is needed so that the PC can see the external SD Card as a mass storage unit (and not as a Media Transfer Protocol). In this way you can format the external SD Card through your PC.
The PC Program did the formatting of the external SdCard to fat32 ok for me. Probably there are other PC programs that can do fine the same.

Hi
I recently got a Kingston 8GB class 4 microSD card and installed it onto my captivate , when i connect to windows i can see both my 16GB internal Storage and my 8 GB microSD card , but none of the file managers seem to show the microSD card .
i tried several apps like SDcard speed tester , QSysteminfo etc they all just show the info about the internal Memory and dont really show any info about the microSD card
in the defualt camera option settings theres an option to select stoage and when i select memory card instead of phone and when i connect to windows i can see the photo being stored in my microSD card
also in the filemanager i see a path called SDCard\SD this seems like a soft like to my microSD card
my question is how do i make all these apps to recognize my microSD and say run a speed test on it.
any help appreciated.
Thanks

Not exactly what you are trying to say in this quote here, but sdcard/sd IS your external sd card.

Yes
/Sdcard is the internal storage (sometimes call internal SDcard or phone storage)
/SDcard/SD is your external SD card ( MicroSD)

Hi,
I created a bootable micro sd card and used it. Now I want to use it as a normal sd card, but my Mac is not able to recognize it.
I need the micro sd card to be recognized so that I can format it and use it.
Thanks and regards,

Greetings,
Here is my problem.
My ROM is [ROM][P6810 & P6800][JB] - Nexus 7.7 - v1.3 - 14-08-2012. Installed microSD card 32Gb. Settings->storage there i can see it - SD card, 29Gb and 29Gb available. No format SD card option, no option in application manager to move application to SD card, no external_sd folder in file managers. Any solutions? What can it be? SD card? ROM? My stupid head? Any tricks? Should i connect my device to PC and format card or something?
Any help appreciated.
Try to use card-reader or any other device to insert the card in it and connect your device to PC. Then you can format your card.

It was broken SD card
But thanks abyway.
I had been using my SD card as internal storage for sometime and then one day I factory restored my phone and now it won't read the SD card. I tried formatting the SD card and integrating it with the internal storage again but that didn't work and my SD card is now unsupported even to be used as external storage.
Please help me fix this issue.

If you have a microsd to regular SD card adapter, plug it into your computer, and re-format as exfat, or NTFS, try both. If you don't have one, pick one up at Walmart, Walgreens or cvs
Hi there. I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi 1S with 16GB SD card. Previously I had partitioned my SD card with 2nd partition set to FAT type, which I used to link apps to SD card using Link2SD. My SD card could be read fine by my laptop when I plugged it in to my laptop with a USB connector (i.e. I could open both my internal storage as well as external SD card storage). Recently I had to reformat the SD card due to some issues with my phone, and I hence deleted the old partition and created a new 2nd partition in EXT2 format instead. The 2nd partition is readable on my phone and works with Link2SD to link apps to SD card like before, however when I plug into my laptop, I cannot see the SD card storage. I can only see the internal memory storage. Please advise how to fix this, if possible without reformatting, as I am unable to move files to and from the SD card storage if I can't see it. Thank you!
