  1. Inserting a SD card point to an existing drive


    Hi,

    My computer is configured like this:
    Drive C:\ --> SSD 250g with windows

    Drive G:\ --> HDD 1tb


    I have a built in SD card reader and when I insert a card in it, a new drive D: is created but it's displaying the same thing as the disk G:\.

    I've tried to visually document it as much as I can.

    We can see the Disk management is ok and it's showing my 64g memory card assign to D:\

    But in the file explorer, we can see the letters D:\ and G:\ have the same size and when I open them Acer D: and Acer G: the both have the same content.


    I've tried using an external card reader and I end up with the same result.


    I've look everywhere and try many thing but I still can't figure out why the File explorer is not matching with the Disk management.


    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Windows asks to format USB Drive when SD card is inserted

    I have SD card with Raspbian OS on it. When I insert the card using the card reader adapter, Windows asks me to format the E:\ drive, and it shows two different drives where it supposed to be just one (the boot with Raspbian OS on it). Recently it also shows the message: "Location is not available E:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect." but the boot is on I:\ drive and this E:\ drive should not even exist.

    - When I format E:\ drive it shows empty E:\ drive and full boot on I:\ drive. When I eject the boot drive, both drives disappear, however, the I:\ (boot) drive is no longer working properly. (does not boot the OS on raspberry pi)

    - When I reinsert the SD card it does not show me any errors. When I then format the SD card (I:\) boot drive, the E:\ drive disappears and I'm left just with I:\ drive. (when I put fresh Raspbian on I:\ drive, the error to format E:\ shows up again)

    - When I put some files onto the SD card it does not seem to show any other drives when I eject and reinsert.

    It is only happening when I have an image located on the SD card.

    I tried:

    • Different USB ports
    • Different SD card readers / adapters
    • chkdsk /F /R /X I: (from the command line)
    • chkdsk /F /R /X E: (from the command line (is says that the file system is RAW))

  3. SD card inserted into PC doesn't do anything

    Hi,

    We may need to do further investigation to identify the issue and its cause. Please provide us the following information:

    In the meantime, we suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices

    • Press Windows key + R and type Control Panel.
    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar and click on

      .
    • Click on Hardware and Devices.
    • Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.

    Let us know how it turns out.

    Inserting a SD card point to an existing drive

    Windows asks to format USB Drive when SD card is inserted

    alphanumeric, thank you for the response. On a fresh install of Windows 10, or previous versions of Windows, when I inserted the sd card it just showed the drive and the files which would be booted on Raspberry Pi (linux). Now it does not behave as expected. Normally you would insert SD or USB or CD or anything and you can look into it and see what's on that drive without any previous error messages. Mine is always trying to format the drive when I insert the SD card, I just do not want to see these multiple error messages each time I insert SD card. I perform multiple SD backups daily and these are critical, sometimes I accidentally format the SD card as the message appears straight in the middle of the screen when I insert SD card. Is there a way to repair it? It happens after latest update of Windows 10 (PS. this does not happen on any other PC in my company when I do the same operation). From what you said it seems like Windows need to ignore Linux system partition how do I disable that?
