corrupted micro sd 64GB and other stories

<< < (2/2)

toehser:
Don't give up on the reformat.  It isn't really a hard thing in _principle_.

It seems some operating systems make it hard.  Not sensible, but, they do.

Basically, you have to do 2 things if you're going from scratch corrupt:

1. Create a partition table, partition, partition type.
2. Create a FAT32 filesystem in the partition.

There is a thread on here saying that WINDOWS MAKES THIS HARD with 64GB, but PEOPLE ARE DOING IT.

There is some utility, there is a link that was mentioned on here in the last week or two, even if you're using MS you CAN DO IT.

It isn't a Sansa issue, you shouldn't send the card back.  It is probably a "you're using Windows" problem.

(I use Linux, so, I don't have such idiocy as "can't format 64GB to FAT32 easily".

But, that is the part not to give up on, as it is a Windows problem, not a hardware issue.

user88:
thanks for the reply I already gave a long reply about linux
and i won't install it meanwhile
frankly I did actualy believe it was corrupted and from some reason (psychological) threw it to trash.
As I said meanwhile I dont need a replacement because I Upgraded to IPOD.
and I have another sansa with working sd card(64gb) for backup.
just hope the IPOD wont die;)
