I have had flash drives die before, and usually i can recover them with hp disk utility (usually). My microsd card died from that damn r4 reader and now i'm screwed out of $45. It can't format, can't read, its detected ometimes as 0 bytes, other times doesn't even show up. any ideas? It means alot to me.
Have you tried using another card reader other than the R4 card reader? If it is the MicroSD card it should carry a 5 year guarantee and you should be able to get another one.
Same thing just happen to me 30 mins ago. I have a Kingston 1GB.
I had it for about 2 weeks now with my R4 working perfectly, but tonight, I backup some of my saves and decided to try Biker Mice from Mars. Everything was transfering well until near the end of the transfer, my computer did a blue screen of death. It's the first time I get a blue screen on my computer yet.
After the reboot, I open up my microSD drive and it freeze a couple of minutes then it tell me that I have nothing in my drive. I can't format or read it anymore.
I don't have any other reader so I can't try it on another reader.
Any help would be greatly welcome. Thanks in advance.

I might have a (strange
) solution: use your PDA to format the card!
I've had a problem where I could not read my micro SD anymore and even Explorer hang up.
I used my PDA to format the SD card (FAT32, 4kB cluster) and then reformatted it on the PC (FAT32, standard clustersize) and it can be used again
.
This might work for you too, unless of course, it is really a hardware problem.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
