Last night I put my vita into sleep mode then today when I went to start it up I discovered it was totally off. So I powered it on and now it asks me, "To use the memory card with this system you must format the memory card". I hit cancel and when I'm brought to the home page of course all of my apps and games are gone now. I open contend manager then "manage content on memory card" and it shows 0GB as though there is no card. I was using a 32GB official card + an ADATA 128GB MicroSD via SD2Vita. I was using the 32GB card for Adrenaline stuff and the 128GB SD2Vita for everything else.

I did some googling and searching here, things I have tried to no avail:

- remove and put back both cards several times
- rebuild database
- go to "settings' > "devices" to look for storage options but there is none. It does not list "storage" at all, only Bluetooth Devices and External Keyboard

It appears it is not detecting either card? WHat should I do? I have a ton of roms, homebrew etc on these cards it would suck to have to format them

BTW - Running Enso 3.60 r11

UPDATE: Now when I power it on with only the official memory card it does not give me the format nag screen and my adrenaline setup shows on the home screen. So it appears the problem is with the SD2Vita

UPDATE 2: I had an extra brand new SD2Vita adapter that I just tried and still getting the format nag scree so it is not hardware related imo, at least not with the SD2Vita adapters. It is something in the MicroSD. Next I will connect the MicrSD to PC and see if there is anything obvious. But I am not sure what to look for?

UPDATE 3: With the official card working and Adrenaline and Autoplugin installed on it still I used autoplugin as a longshot to redirect the system to use SD2Vita as ux0 and official card as uma0 (this is what it was before all of this last night) . I restarted and SD2Vita is being read again. However half of the installed games and homebrews are not showing up and the ones that are showing are giving me the error to redownload from PS Store. Very strange.
