Sd Card Problems

[fev]

Hi guys, wondering if anyone can help me.

I have a 2gb sd card which i have formatted in fat32, I then transfer files onto the card from my mac (all goes fine), then i put the card in my gp and there's nothing there. I then put the card back in the computer and the mac only now sees it as a 1gb and the pc says it isn't formatted!

Anyone had a similar problem and found an answer?


Cheers,
Phil :blink:

Have you tried to reformat it?

Yep, the pc will allow me to reformat @ 1.92 Gb and the mac can see it again. I transfer the files, eject the disk but the gp see's nothing. I have done this whole process 6 times this afternoon and it's really starting to p155 me off!

You may try to completely wipe the card using this program:

And after that format it again.

Oh, yeah, well. Try to find a program or method to wipe the SD card completely, or try formatting on another PC just for testings sake?
What brand is your SD?

It's possible that the 2x doesn't understand the card and is just corrupting it. What brand is it, and does it have a number inside a small circle?

I think your card reader might be at fault. I would try a different one before you give up.

Cheers guys, I have transfered a small no. of files over and it seems ok, I'll try a new reader tis weekend and see if that helps.
