Windows 10: SDHC Card / Asus N550

I have recently tried to use an internal card reader (Realtek 2.0) for the first time since upgrading to Windows 10.


In simple terms, I can put it into another PC (not running windows 10) and it is recognised, access to files, no issues.


As soon as I put it in the Windows 10 internal card reader, I get:-


a) "The directory is name is invalid" (don't think this is the main issue and I caused it!

b) "You need to format the drive"


I have tried everything! I used an empty card, managed to reformat it on the other laptop, however windows 10 just doesn't want to format it. Strangely, as soon as I put it in, it is recognised in device manager. It cannot be a hardware issue (card), I have tried everything.


ANy help on this would be hugely appreciated as I have bought a new blueooth music player to use this 256gb card and at the moment it is useless.


Many thanks in advance

Windows 10 and SDHC card

Installed Windows 10, now will not recognize my SDHC card out of my camera.

What steps do I need to take to get Windows 10 to recognized my SDHC card (8GB)?

Thanks

 

Information about SDHC cards

This is not a problem, just something I found out recently! This might be
valid for Mac users only. Currently I am using a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6 and
Nokia Multimedia Transfer 1.4.2.



I got a new 32GB SDHC card for my Nokia 5800XM. After having copied the content from my old 8GB SDHC card to the new one, I realized some things:

• For some reason non of my applications, that I had installed on the SDHC card did work.
• I was not able to copy new music to the larger SDHC card: NMT started synchronization but did stop at some point - without any error message.

After having formated the SDHC card in my Nokia 5800XM and copied back the content, at least the Music transfer is working perfect again ... no sudden errors.



I still have to reinstall all my applications - but on the other hand this is the chance to clear up ;-)



Cheers

PS: Larger SDHC cards definitively slow down the performance!
