Hacking Major issue accesing SDHC card impossible

[duffmmann]

I find this highly unlikely it's a shop with 20 year experience so they say and have overly positive reviews on our national technical website. Some are regarding SD cards.

Also it has official samsung packaging.. Doesn't seem fake to me.

mine looked official too man. But it wasn't.

I think you need to face the facts, everything you're trying to do to solve this issue isn't working. Plus everything you're saying all points to the conclusion that its a fake.

But if you wanna keep searching for another solution have at it. Let me know if you end up finding a solution, I'll be very happy for you, but also very surprised.

It's fake. Use h2testw on the drive if you don't believe us!

Format your sdcard,thats all
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/
Download and install this
Then enable size adjustement(partition table rewrite)
Then format it

My 2 microsd cards 32GB comes from DataIO and they work great, if it still dont work with these steps you can do a RMA/DOA request

The card does appear to be improperly formatted, use SD Formatter on default settings and you should be fine.

I tried the SD formatter. IT says it's write protected... WHICH IT"S NOT!!!!!

I know because It copied/deleted files just fine earlier and I didnt change a thing. I double check and the switch still is in the right place, I googled around they said do some tape over it.. tried it.. still write protect error.. This is just all bullshit ***

So I guess I will RMA the card..

Windows locked the drive by trying to mount it...
Try to boot a gparted live cd/dvd/usb and then format it under linux

 

[Chrisssj2]

Erm sorry im not familiair with that, that sounds too complicated...

I have never used linux before..

Could an option be trying to format the drive from windows setup? or would that be the same?

 

[TheRedfox]

Try it, maybe windows setup doesnt mount it

I hate kingston.. i bought a 4GB SDHC and got 3.69 GB....
And other Kingston things like USB Sticks(8 GB=7.29 GB)
I won't buy it anymore

it actually has the right size

GB is short for Giga Byte
Giga means 10^9 so 4GB are 4,000,000,000 Bytes

many vendors use a different unit called Gigabinary Byte or GiB
with Gigabinary meaning 2^30 or 1,073,741,824
4GiB being 4,294,967,296 Bytes
Thats by itself is perfectly fine, the unit is there because its somtimes really practical

4GB are then the same as 3.72GiB
(additionally a small part is use by the filesystem itself, which can explain rest of difference)

the problem lies in the fact that SOME vendors (mostly software, not hardware) like microsoft
use GiB (Gigabinary Byte) but call it GB (Giga Byte) which is about as smart as calling hours minutes instead

note that the problem is even worse with new hard drives
with GB/GiB the "mysteriosly missing" part is "only" 6.87%
for TB/TiB its already 9.06%
and when we hit the next step (Peta or P) it will be 11.19%


TL;DR: they only claim that you stick is to small, but thats actually a lie

Tried it, same result. Im sending card back RMA. Bought a scandisk from the side website too today.

Someone who doesn't know that would assume that 8 GB has 8000 MB or 1024x8=8192 MB
