Sd Card Troubles

[PostmanPat]

Well up untill a couple of days ago my gp2x and sd card were running perfectly, then i tried to put on a couple diffrent games and my card reader (which is a hp printer with cd reader built in) said it could not access the card (well what its said exactly was "card access error") so i tried to hook it up through usb and i get nothing and i even tried that usbmon thing and still no avail, so i checked my device manager and it says that there is a problem that says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)", so i thought stupid Xp and decided to try it on my moms work computer which is windows 2000 or something like that and it was detected but this is the only luck that i get so i do a quick look around of the sd card to see if anything was out of the ordinary which nothing was, and i decided that a format might help, so the format starts almost finishes! then says teh format could not be completed! So i went into the sd card to look around again and everything is still there! i even tried to move the off and delete them but it wont let me, but all this did not affect a single file on the sd card because when i put it into the gp2x i can still play every game, watch every movie and so on.

What should i do?

Edit: Forgot to say that the gp2x it self seems to be the only thing that can move, delete or copy or in this case even touch the files

You could try using a command-line formatter, they've worked for people in the past. I've forgotten the command on Windows, but on Linux it's mkfs.

Try using the built in cardreader in the gp2x, and connect it to a usb 1.1 (Not usb2.0) port, that worked for me when I had a similar problem.

It seem's as the gp2x cardreader have some issues with usb2.0.

try using mkdosfs, has worked for a lot of people.

Sorry, but I've got to ask - It's not something silly like the write protect switch being on is it? The GP2X doesn't seem to care about this, but others of course do.

lol no the swich isnt on write protect, and i have tried mkdosfs before but when i try to open it it closes really quickly so i tried running it through dos but it won't let me do anything.

What do you mean by "won't let me do anything"? Does it start up? Do you get error messages?

​

Click "Start", Click "Run", Type "CMD", You now have a dos window that will now stay open, Use that to run mkdosfs.
