Sandisk Clip Zip 128GB microSD (FAT32) not detected by Rockbox

(1/2) > >>

jack:
Rockbox does not detect 128GB SanDisk XC1 card (FAT32) on the SanDisk Clip Zip. However, the card works just fine when booting into original SanDisk OS and when plugged into the computer. Reinstalling Rockbox, intitializing database, and reformatting card does not help.

Anyone with an idea why only Rockbox does not detect the card?

Bilgus:
likely the card is corrupted we are a bit more strict about that in the dev versions now you might try 3.15 and if it works there its a bad block on the card or just somehow got corrupted.
Likely, doing a low level format and marking bad sectors might bring it back (might only be for a bit though till more blocks fail)

then use a 3rd party formatter http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
then probably chkdsk /r (if it works on removable drives no clue..)

for linux
dd 0 to the drive

gparted should work to reformat

run badblocks (might try running this first)

Does the card have a partition table?

I don't think the card is corrupted because it works fine when I boot into the original SanDisk OS, or when I plug it into my computer. It's just that for some reason, only Rockbox does not detect the card.

Yes, the card works fine when I boot into the original SanDisk OS; it detects all the music. The card also works fine when plugged into a computer. It's just that for some reason, Rockbox does not detect the card.
