  1. Brand new fresh out of box micro sd card unable to format


    I just bought a brand new sandisk 64 gb micro sd card and was looking to format it. However, I am unable to do so, as I keep on getting access denied error messages. The adapter is not on read only mode, and I have tried other troubleshooting steps like using diskpart and cmd. Nothing has worked so far. Any help?

    :)

    Unable to Format micro SD card

    Thanks for all your comments.The card does not have a 'lock'. (To be honest, I've never seen a micro-SD card with a lock feature, only standard SDs.) The adapter I am using does have a lock which is set to off, but I have just considered the possibility that the adaptor is faulty, so I will try a different one when I can find one. However, that fact that the camera suggested there was a fault, seems to indicate that the card is the cause not the adaptor.Denis, the periodic reformatting [in the camera] is due to the cameras inability to filename above "FILE9999". (The camera is an older one that I now use as a security camera that is permanently on. This is obviously another reason that the card may have given up.) When the card reaches its maximum number, the camera stupidly stops saving data rather than reverts back to "FILE0000". The only way to fix this is to in-camera format the card. However, occasionally, (not very often) I have had to format the card (or reset the partition of the card) with the computer. The information I have previously saved on the card suggests that the card size is correct. It's 32GB and I have accessed all 32GB files on the card.From my limited understanding and from those comments here, I guess the card is stuck fast.

    Unable to format sd card

    Hi,

    There are many possible reasons why this issue is happening. To help resolve your concern, we'd like to ask the following questions below:

    • Are you using an SD card reader? If yes, have you tried using another card reader?
    • Have you tried formatting the SD card using another computer?
    In the meantime, we suggest running a hardware diagnostics while your SD card is connected to the computer and see if it helps. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Type Troubleshooting in the search box, then select
      Troubleshooting
      from the search result.
    • Click Hardware and Sound.
    • Select Hardware and Devices to run a hardware diagnostics.

    We'll keep an eye out for your response.
