Hi guys,

I opted for the SX OS and I've got a 128gb Sandisk SD card.

When I format the SD card in the Nintendo switch it won't read when I plug it into the Windows 10 PC.

So therefore, I can't load up SX OS because I can't put the boot file on the SD card because my PC won't read the card. When I put the card into the iMac, I can see it and reformat it and then it works on the PC.

Has anyone ran into this issue before and know how I can fix this? Dying to get this up and running, it's so frustrating! (I know it's probably something stupid I'm doing wrong)

I've formatted to Fat32 and ExFAT - still no luck. If the Switch won't read the SD card without the Switch doing the formatting then I can't get SX OS on.

Many thanks if you can help!!

Have you checked to make sure the SD card is not fake?

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

Yeah the SD card was rubbish. I bought the switch and sx os online, but the SD card was just crap so I bought a new one and it's all working fine now !
