[SOLVED] Invalid Encoding

[Manic Miner]

I have SanDisk 16GB SDHC Card which gives me the message Invalid Encoding, what needs doing


to it so I can see the cards name and use it in my Pandora ?


This card was used in a Wiz before with no problems.


Looking at the card in File Manager it shows at SD/MMC Drive ????


If there is a formatting issue or something I use a Mac so MS driven PC advice is no good to me

I seem to recall that Mac computers seem to mess up SD cards as to make them unusable in a Pandora. Can you get a friend to format it on Windows maybe?

should be able to format it on the pandora itself, either through terminal or gParted

I tried this...


sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 't' then '83' to change the partition type to linux, then 'w' to save.


Then this happened...

Thanks for the gParted pointer, problem resolved between that and my Macs drive utility.


Please mark as solved
