Windows 10: weird sd card

A friend traded me a mirco sd card he had in his phone. it was a 200 gig sd.
what is weird about it it only is writable in a micro sd slot. For me this means
only my Android tablet or Nextbook (win 8) tablet can write to it.
I tried it in three standard adapters and it wasn't even detected unless the
write tab was set to on. is there any way around this?
I would like to use it to transfer my indesign templates and documents
to and from work.

App Corrupted?

It's actually a new sd card.

I tried with my old sd card, it says "Downloading 8MB" but the progress bar didn't move.

 

Nokia E Series - SD card password vs encryption

I'm using Nokia E72. I can't understand what's the difference between SD encryption nad SD password.

If I use SD encryption I can still remove card from phone and read it without problems on my PC - that's weird.

Using SD password makes my card unreadable on my PC.

 

This will probably be down to how the SD card was formatted for use in the phone, particularly if it was used as 'adopted storage'.

In Windows, only exFAT and ntfs formats are supported for drives larger than 32GB. I'd expect you could use the 200GB SD normally if you reformat it to one of those.

 

A standard format may not work, try using diskpart to establish a clean partition

Thanks I plugged it into my nextbook and reformated as ntfs, it now works fine.
Here I was looking for a complex solution so of course it turned out to be an easy one. *Smile
