My Micro SD Card Broken?

Was playing DS last nite using R4. Was playing big brain acadamy, turned it off and on, Got a black screen saying "TF/SD Card Error". Took the micro SD card out of the R4, put in card adapter, into computer, card comes up saying it needs formatted?? Try to format the card and computer says "cannot complete format"

Is there anyway to repair? or should I just buy a new Micro SD Card?

Thanks

 

Have you tried runing a chkdsk on it?

 

how do i do that?
what should i be looking for?

 

Open a command prompt in windows and type in "chkdsk xx: /f"

where xx is the drive letter of your SD Card.

I had a card yesterday which was 2GB and it was only showing 1Gig free, even after a format.

After a bit of work it got its full 2GB back.

 

Hopefully this will sort the problem out.

Thanks

 

Ok, doing chkdsk it says file system is raw?
chkdsk isn't available for raw drives

how do i fix this?

 

anyone?

 

bump

 

That also happened to me right now. Unfortunatly, I don't know how to fix it, but I realized that if the ds is turned off and turned on immeaditly, it will somehow ruin the SD card. I'm not sure, but thats what i concluded.

 

Some one please help.

 

i don't know what the problem was. i just ended up buying another micro sd card

 

aw man......i contacted R4 and this tech website, but they never emailed me back....

 

I had this same issue with a CF card in a GBAMP. idk how but the problem just sortof went away one day.
