Can you see what type of file system it has. On android only FAT32 is allowed. If it is NTFS or exFAT i think can't work on a phone. If that is your case you must backup data form card and change file-system type to FAT.

I'm not so stupid, I tried with integrated Windows tool - no luck
I know now - integrated tools and any other tools sucks, you have to use normal tools. Problem solved with SDFormatter from sdcard.org.

i have a regular desktop PC and a macbook, i was just wondering, if i formatted my SD card using my pc, could i plug it into my macbook and everything will be good to go? or will it slaughter my sd card? anyone know anything about this?
when you format the sdcard from windows, it should automatically be fat32 format (which is the only FS android likes)
fat32 works with every modern operating system
there is no good reason a problem should occur
just make sure you remove properly rather than just pulling the card whenever you feel like it
alright thanks garok89 for the response =]
how would one format to fat32 in os x? I am using the usb adapter that came with my microsd card
Hi all,
Soon receiving a microSD for my Samsung Galaxy S. What is the best way to format this? Simply stick it in the phone and click 'yes' when being asked about it?
Or should I pre-format the microSD before sticking it in the phone, so I can use another/better filesystem than whatever the phone would default to?
If so: Which filesystems are supported (for a 16GB microSD), and which one would be the best one?

I formatted mine with fat32 file system, works a treat and never had any problems.
I was wondering if I can format my SD card with NTFS ? I would like to place some >4GB files on it... Also, how would this affect performance ?

i think i'll give it a try later today
since i have so many SD cards
if it works that will solve a lot of headaches from the FAT32 restrictions
I have a 1 gig card to use in my rooted NC. Do I need to format it some special way ? I have it formated as NTFS but I can not read it with ASTRO. It should be listed under sdcard right ? but I dont see it.
Help!
From what I've read on the Nook Color spec, it supports the FAT32 filesystem.
Try formatting your microSD card to that (or use the Nook to format the sd card directly)

Yup, FAT32 will work if what you have is a PC. There may be some UNIX filesystem format that's supported too, but for a 1 GB card, FAT32 is enough with its 4 GB file size limitation.
Hello guys!
I have 16GB micro SD card and I can't put a movie larger than 4 GB.
my card is formatted as fat32, but I've managed to install paragon+ and mount ntfs card but I still can't copy file larger than 4GB.
Or to be more precise, I can save file via PC on SD card, but all applications don't recognize file.
I have tried with both 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
Does anyone know how to solve this?
paragon didn't mount exfat.

It's an android limitation. Android has not NTFS support out of the box. I was sure it supported exFAT (our big brother does AFAIK) but after formatting my 16 GB class 10 SDcard my phone didn't recognize it anymore So, FAT32 and no 4GB+ files
However there's a good chance CyanogenMod supports these file systems (at least exFAT) out of the box

Get a live USB stick for any Linux distro and try saving it that way.
AW: [Q] micro SD card exfat
It should be possible to reformat the card as ext2/3/4. Android would support it natively. The only issue would be for Windows users to install a kind of driver to use it.

I've solved it.
I've formatted 16 GB SD drive half as fat32 and half as ext4, and then i've made a script to mount ext4 to /mnt/storage3 folder.
Now I can dowbload torrents larger than 4GB.
@oskreso, can you share the script?
Hello everybody,
I have installed on my (miniSD class10 with 8GB) android.
i made 2 partitions:
1. FAT32 and 1.Ext4
Now im trying to Format the disc but it says ( write protected).
sombody know how to get it clean again???
micro SD adapter has lock and unlock switch
No thats not it.
If you are formatting it on your phone try to format it on a pc. You can use NTFS. Or vice versa
No, its write protected can not format in phone or pc.
Is it possibel that the files on it are protected when i installed android on it?
