Hacking I have a big problem

unbelivable...

You have a faulty USB Card Reader, throw the thing in the trash and get a new one.

But no, you already know nothing about computers, and you actually follow some dudes advice to use linux and install that on your computer when you don't know a single thing about it in order TO UTILIZE A BROKEN READER.


Oh god, i moaned like 3 times reading through this.

If your MicroSD card works fine, but the computer doesn't recognize it when you put it in the reader, then the reader is garbage. Especially if it's one of them crapy 1$ readers that came with the flash card.

Go buy a new USB SD Card Reader. then you plug your microSD into an SD adaptor, and it will work.
Nearly all my flashcard supplied readers are dead. And when they start crapping out, windows will tell you that the drive needs to be formated.

like, no offense or anything. But you need to keep it simple. And i am actually suprised how little people are capable of spotting a Card Reader problem. I knew it when he said that the MicroSD works fine in another reader. Seriously.... I hope for your own good that you are under the age of 12, only this would excuse such naivnes.no need to be so insulting, u not only insulted the people trying to help him but him himself

of course your conclusion is valid, i guess i just thought he already tried it

i never recommended installing linux, just using a live cd, as stevetry had already recommended it, it made sense that it might be something that windows was doing something

i don't know where u read that it worked in another reader, he only said that a flash drive worked so the port wasn't the problem (at least that's what i think he said)

The other doesn't work with a micro sd card it's only a 8GB usb keyQUOTE(Chocobo @ Jan 14 2011, 08:13 PM)

I tried on a laptop and it did the same thing
I tried to put another usb key and it worked so why is it doing this??

also, yeah dont use ur cellphone, it'll format it to make it compatible with ur phone

revo420 where did I mention that it worked on another reader?
Nowhere because I don't even have another card reader,it's my first flashcart so I don't know if the card reader they gave me is good or not,it's the first card reader I use so I think it's normal if I know nothing about it.

 

[Terminator02]

u should try another reader tho, that is probably what's the problem

 

[Chocobo]

how much does it cost?

 

[Cuelhu]

better purchase a quality one, not a cheap Chinese one.
My DSTwo reader died yesterday. I almost had a heart attack cause I thought that the SD Formatter 3 (beta) killed the card.

For some reason, I also am pretty sure you said you tried it in another MicroSD reader and that it worked perfectly fine.

Probably because he referred to his MicroSD reader as an "USB Key" and then said "I tried plugging in another USB Key and it worked"

Yes that was what people mistook for another reader. Most likely when he said USB key he must of meant a flashdrive or something.

Anyway as stated in my a previous post try using another reader if you don't have one you can buy one or see if one of your friends have one to lend to you.

good luck you guys, i hope you figure this one out.

I can't help because i don't know what's going on anymore.
Case rested.

I'll buy a new card reader but how much does it cost?

 

[Terminator02]
