SD Card reading problem

robobosan

Hi, I have a new Kingston SDHC 8G class 10 sd card that can read and write properly in a notebbok: Lenovo G460 windows 7. However, while I used in another notebook: Acer Aspire V5-171 windows 8.0 to copy same files to the same SD card, I can only write around 500Kbyte data to it. And then, window pop up an error message show as below. Is the SD card issue or notebook issue? How can I test it?

  • Hi Ro Bobo

     

     

    If it works in the other laptop it seems the issue would be the card readers or computer. Do you have access to another computer with a card reader, preferably a fairly new computer? Moreover,never ever use SD card Adapters for formatting.Always USB card readers as they are more efficient.Generic operating system formatters don’t provide the optimum performance.And,sometimes,can result into SD card death and less picture-saving space.

    Full format once in awhile is recommended to prevent possible corrupt files, lengthen the life of the card and achieve the most available space possible.

     

     

    This tool is compatible with Windows XP and vista however Windows 7 users can run this tool in Compatibility mode for Windows 7.You can also try the HP USB Format tool: Download HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool | PCWorld

    Generally, older card readers have problems with newer SD Cards. I see this every Day when I am repairing computers. Try that USB Format tool above see what happens.

    Hi Dan,

     

    Thanks for your great reply!!!

    I am using the SD card reader embedded in the laptops. Will it be better to use an external SD card reader to carry format, read and write?

     

    Thank you again!

    Robo you cam do that, but make sure it is Isn 2.0 or 3.0 so there is no question on compatibility.  If you need more help let me know.
