Sandisk 16gb microsd formatting incorrectly

it maybe broken if you can't reformat it... try start menu>run>cmd> then enter the drive of your SD memory it should be look like this C:\Documents and settings\user>E: , after that type "format" without double quotes then wait if succeded..then check for it

Have you tried reformatting it? Go to My Computer, rigjht click on the entry for your SanDisk and select Format. Be aware that this will erase all content on the drive.

If that does not solve you problem then the device is faulty.

I would try to reformat the sd card first and if the problem continues go exchange it.

1. If you have a usb cable to your reader connect it to 1 of usb ports on your PC.
2. Go "My computer or "computer " if Windows 7 then right click on the icon that show your SD memory ( it will show as another drive letter). You will then see a drop down menu with the word "format" click and follow the prompts. This should format your memory.

Try doing a complete formatting again.

If that does not work, delete partition and try doing formatting with a tool like the one below.
If the software below does not fix the problem, then replace the card.

If none work, it is hosed and only I can fix it so let me know ;-)

Are you formatting it in a cell phone, a digital camera, or on your computer?

If you're formatting on a computer, be sure you have the microcard inserted into the adapter correctly. I would suggest you format the card in the device that you're using it in most.

Re-format it. Put the SanDisk 2GB microSD memory card into your LG enV2 and format it from there. If that does not work plug it into your laptop then right click the icon and format it to FAT and click on default settings.
