So, I have an SD(HC) Card. Lexar multi-use SDHC 4GB. It's been working perfectly fine on this computer for 2ish years.
I use it as sort of a Pok?mon hacking tool repository. On it, I have about every single Pok?mon hacking tool that exists for the 3rd Generation.
This computer (Windows 7 Home Premium on a Toshiba with Energy Star (I think)) reads it as "SD Card (G
". Which is cool and all, this is what it has always done.
Today, it decides that it needs to be formatted in order to continue. Upon attempting to format, the computer states that Windows can not format this properly. Confused, I decided to bring the computer I use for programming in Robotics (Windows 7 Professional on Dell with Intel Core 2 Duo) home for the weekend to figure this out.
The other computer reads it as some name that makes sense, but the important thing to notice is that it goes from "G:" to "E:". I back up the SD Card, format it using the default settings (3.73 GB, FAT32, except for the allocation data; changed that to 32 kilobytes because that is how I have had to format it in the past), and then formatted it, erasing all the data and that jazz. It still reads as "G:" on this computer, and still decides that it needs to be formatted without being able to.
So, yeah, help with this?
I do have one other minor thing: Is there a MicroSD Card to SD Card Adapter that does not tell the computer that the MicroSD Card is a read-only memory card? The one I currently have has always done this, and, while I understand how to "fix" it, it becomes a pain to do so because I can't ever do it consistently (with the tape and all that). So, yeah.
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!
