hello, this is abdis,
I have an sd card that is 8 gb, and was working for many months, then the sd card suddenly stopped responding.
it starting being slow and deleting or coping files took 2 days just for 1 gb file.
I tried all possilble ways of formatting, but it just says ""cannot format drive".
is there a way to fix this problem?
Thank you.
also I forgot to mension that it is not from my computer, because i tried the sdhc on other pcs too, but it was still same.
thanks for your time.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Unfortunately it sounds like the sd card is bad. Try formatting it on your pc with a sd card reader. if that doesn't work then you'll need a new card.

I have a micro sd card 2.0 usb, i put the sdhc inside and it is still the same as in the sd card.
Do you think that the sdhc is bad?
I also tried using Chkdsk in CMD but after I write clean it loads and stays 0, it finishes while it is still 0.
Thank you, Abdis

Hi I'm having trouble getting my phone to read the sd card. When I put it in it says safe to remove sd but apart from that the phone doesnt even register that the card is in? I have had the sd card in my laptop for a while but formatted it first. I have a friend and its the same for his android but the 2gb he got with his phone works fine. Is there some sort of file structure that has to be on the sd for the phone to pick it up? Really need help thanks.

No special structure i would fully format the card as fat 32 not quick format .

Ok thanks for the reply. Also read that formatting in recovery mode could work? That was for a diff phone though with the same problem

I went to the motorola and this is what it said about the sd card
Insert your microSD card
Remove the microSD Card Slot tray located on the back of the device.
Remove dummy microSD Card and insert your microSD card in the same slot.
Insert the microSD card slot tray
Do I have to buy a sd card
Thank You
Yes. You need to supply your own card. A 32g card works well in my Xoom.

No, you have to format the microSD on a PC, no options are provided from the OS to do so.

I am not to computer saavy can you give me a description what I have to do now I got a 32sd card today.
Thanks
If you have a microSD reader, plug it into your PC and format it as FAT32...that's all there is to it. You may be able to do it through the Xoom over USB (as in plug your Xoom into your PC with the SD card in your Xoom), but I can't confirm that. You definitely don't want to format the Xoom itself though.
Once I do this, where well the sd card show up? I wish there was a file explorer built into the xoom

it will show up mounted in /mnt/external1
/sdcard or /mnt/sdcard is for the internal memory.

OK so I use Astro, and Androzip, and for some reason I can't get my Xoom to recognize the Sd card. I can access it through windows, but not at all through the Xoom. Is this just because I took the card straight from my phone and put it in the tablet without formatting it? Thanks

Hi,
Is the sd card loose in it's casing?
What have your tried?
Tried SD in a different Phone?
Checked the SD for errors?
Is the SD loose in the carrier?
Formatted the SD (fat 32 and primary partioion) from a PC?
Tried a different SD in your phone?
It does help if you do the basics and add what you've done in the OP

No, I'm never inserting my SD card to any other devices
Previously i checked it for errors,and got cleaned
After I purchased it,i haven't formatted....
I found this "un-expectally unmount error" from this last week...
I had similar issues with my sensation my sd would unmount unexpectedly it would vary from rom to rom. I found that if re flashed my current rom without a wipe it would correct the problem. It worked in my case hope it helps

I would try the reflashing rom idea above as its easy.
If that doesnt work transfer all the sd card data to your computer then format the card. See if that fixes.

It may be the way it was initially formatted. The only thing I can think of off hand is an sd card reader

Thanks for reply, I also tried with an sd card reader, it's the same problem. Could Nokia set a protection on the sdhc card ?? If yes, I've just lost an sdhc card to be used on other devices....

Connect your sd card to computer with card reader and start command prompt.
Type the following:
cd chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /r
This will Scan for and attempt Recovery of bad sectorsor
cd chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /f
this will Automatically Fix file system errors on the disk
Try these commands and see whether the problem is fixed or not/

SOLUTION :
In the nokia storage's options, just click for 2seconds on the SD CARD STORAGE and it will appear an list of option as "delete password". I've just deleted the password which was put to get an private storage. That's why i could'nt use my sd card on other devices.
Now i can use my SDHC card on all devices that support it
hello, i have a 4gb microsd with my android phone
suddenly one day it stopped allowing me write or delete files from sd card, only read operations are done
normal check with windows failed
i tried to format with gparted and diskpart everything failed,
it doesnt have a lock, tried from usb card reader also
what should i do know??
(did a lot of googling tried many formatters none worked)
Try these:
1. Unmount SD card in your device, and mount it again.
2. Connect it to a PC using a card reader, and run CHKDSK.
3. Format the SD Card in a digital camera or a Nokia phone.

Did you try other sd card in this phone? My old Android phone can't read the card, and later I found it's the phone's problem.
