Then why dont you format it when you connect it via phone?
Also try this tool after putting the memory card in the card reader.

Sorry my bad.. It shows bad disk..
Attaching screen shot.. If this will help you

I think your solution is clear....time for a new card.
Even if you got it working, do you trust it? You could lose everything on it again.
Visit a nice big chain store, they are quite cheap. ?

I m not afraid of data loss in the card as its not that imp ..
If it was really a bad disk how m I able to access it in my phone plus I can transfer files as well..
Scenario is that I have a password to the card and its detectable only on Nokia the phone in which I set it..
Now I don't remember the pass .. So thought of formatting it when put it in card reader it shows bad disk . when I put card in phone it mounts as USB storage and it works as a drive as you can see in the image..

Yes, but the computer doesn't like it. So its the drivers on the computer not being able to communicate with it properly, or its corrupt. The phone may see it fine, but not the PC cause of the corruption.
I'd start with looking at the PC drivers.

Check if it is mounting on your computer when you connect your phone. If so, just format it and then try it on your phone.

not sure if this will definitely solve your issue, but try formatting the SD card in a PC or maybe in another phone if it recognizes it... :good:
format using Mini Tool Partition Wizard in your Windows PC/Laptop. to Fat32 Only.

First backup your data, by some means ( connecting to some card readers, etc)
Now mount your SD card in USB mode using some other device that support, or the same card reader itself. ( some non android phones are also capable of that, like HTC Smart that I had )
Using some partitioning tool, delete whole of the contents - not just data, but the whole partitions ( I tested it on Gparted in linux. Gparted live medium is available from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php ). Now your card doesnt have any partitions, or even a partition table.
Insert the device into your xperia L and turn it on. It will automatically format your card to fat32 partition.

My sdcard got damaged now.
Not even computer detecting but also not showing on any other devices..
What can I do now?
Sent from my C2104 using xda premium
If its permanently damaged, there is nothing you can do. As a final hand, you may try inserting it into a linux system, and check the output of command "ls /dev | grep sdb". If your card is being detected, the output will be sdb if you haven't plugged any other removable device.

same as me....my 32gb kingston sd card class 10 is not working. XL always say "sd card damaged"
XL has problems with class 10 cards. I had a Sandisk Class 10 16 GB sdhc, which I was about to get replaced due to the same reason, but lost it.
I then bought a transcend 16GB class 10 sdcard, which the phone showed as damaged. I then finally had that replaced, and after a formatting a few times and restarting a few times, it somehow worked.
plus many others reported class 10 cards not being read on XL
Luck by chance :/
with UHS-1 is works flawlessly
i wanna swap memory internal to extternal, but would the damage memory card when my memory card has partition? i use sandisk memory with 30 mbps 16 gb. sory for my bad english

So u got ur sdcard back !

How to format the SD Card from my phone without losing data?

My computer just passed away, so now I'm left with my HTC One and my iPad. I need format my SD Card without a computer, so I obviously would like to keep some of my data. Is that possible? Can I just partition the SD Card? Help!
Heuu soryy you cant or maybe sd partitioner is existing as an apk
Sent from my LG-P895 using xda premium
I don't believe that you can.
"Formatting", by definition wipes all the data on your SD card.
What about backing it up to a cloud service of your choice,or just email the things you want to keep ....to yourself,at least you can keep your pics an stuff,I do that for my build prop mods and apks I have on my SD when I'm not around my PC.

Try AirDroid , to transfer stuff to your iPad over WiFi
Then partition/format, open up AirDroid again, drop your contents back to phone.
Note: only works if u have a small amount of data to transfer around

Try listing the partitions of your sdcard to see if there are any unnalocated space with "list partition" or "detail disk"
..............
list disk
select disk
clean
create partition

same result as i see in Gparted in linux, only 30MB, no other space anywhere
Where you able to fix it? I have a 64gb SD card that also shows as 30mb, I cant afford to lose a 64gb sd card!!
Thanks
are you sure this isn't a fake upgraded sd card? very common in the market
Same thing: 16 gb => 15 mb

Lost files wile moving and using hide it pro.

Please help me i've tried everithing...
I have a very large stash of pics that I kieep in Hide it pro app. I've set the app to unhide to a folder and them move that folder to the pc. when I tryed to open the folder on the PC I saw that there was only one photo inside (the first one) all the other 200 where lost.
I've run to the vault directory of hide it pro and there were the files, try to copy them and it was impossible, so I reboot the phone and the files were gone. GONE!
Now I've try to recover them with disk digger and other recovery software without any luck. If I could I would made a complete backup of the phone internal memory and them mount it has a drive and simply use recuva to get the files. But the process is to hard to understand and I can't see to know how to copy all content using adb not to the sd card but to the PC. My sd card is smaller than the internal memory so it'll not be able to acomodate a raw file from that size (64gb).
Any ideas? I believe that the files are simply lost on a regular hard drive or sd card it'll be easy but on the phone internal memory is a hell of a problem to get them out. Note that I must find the photos that are now archives with a changed name, hide it pro changes the file name...
please help.. thank you
You could try mounting it to your pc and running the program "recuva".. Worth a try.

You should just have to plug it into your pc with a usb cable and install the drivers.. Afterward it should show up as a drive and scan it.

The issue is that the S3 with android 4.3.1 is connect like MTP and not like a regular USB drive. So it is almost impossible to mout it. The only way I heard is with ADB.
Snag a micro SD to USB A adapter/card reader. Plug your microSD into your PC this way.
