Hello.

Today, one of the most popular types of media is a flash drive. And no matter what anyone says, the age of CD/DVD discs is coming to an end. Moreover, the price of one flash drive is only 3-4 times more than the price of a DVD! True, there is one small “but” - it is much more difficult to “break” a disk than a flash drive...

Although not often, one unpleasant situation sometimes happens with flash drives: you remove the microSD flash card from your phone or camera, insert it into your computer or laptop, but it doesn’t see it. There can be many reasons for this: viruses, software errors, failure of a flash drive, etc. In this article, I would like to stop on the most popular reasons for invisibility, as well as provide some tips and recommendations on what to do in such cases.

Types of flash cards. Is SD card supported by your card reader?

Here I would like to dwell in more detail. Many users often confuse one type of memory card with another. The fact is that there are three types of SD flash cards: microSD, miniSD, SD.

Why did the manufacturers do this?

There are simply different devices: for example, a small audio player (or a small mobile phone) and, for example, a camera or photo camera. Those. The devices are completely different in size with different requirements for the speed of flash cards and the amount of information. This is why there are several types of flash drives. Now in more detail about each of them.

1. microSD

Size: 11mm x 15mm.

MicroSD flash cards are very popular thanks to portable devices: players, phones, tablets. Using microSD, the memory of the listed devices can be increased very quickly by an order of magnitude!

Usually, when purchasing, they come with a small adapter so that this flash drive can be connected instead of an SD card (more on them below). By the way, for example, to connect this flash drive to a laptop, you need to: insert micsroSD into the adapter, and then insert the adapter into the SD slot on the front/side panel of the laptop.

2.miniSD

Size: 21.5mm x 20mm.

Once popular cards used in portable technology. Today they are used less and less, mainly due to the popularity of the microSD format.

3.SD

Size: 32mm x 24mm.

Flash cards: sdhc and sdxc.

These cards are mostly used in devices that require a large amount of memory + high speed. For example, a video camera, a car video recorder, a camera, etc. devices. SD cards are divided into several generations:

1. SD 1 – from 8 MB to 2 GB in size;
2. SD 1.1 – up to 4 GB;
3. SDHC – up to 32 GB;
4. SDXC – up to 2 TB.

Oh, very important points when working with SD cards!

1) In addition to the amount of memory, SD cards indicate the speed (more precisely, the class). For example, in the screenshots above, the card class is “10” - this means that the exchange speed with such a card is at least 10 MB/s (more details about classes: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital). It is important to pay attention to what speed class of flash card is required for your device!

2) microSD using special. adapters (they are usually written adapter (see screenshots above)) can be used instead of regular SD cards. True, doing this always and everywhere is not recommended (precisely because of the speed of information exchange).

3) SD card readers are backwards compatible: i.e. if you take a device that reads SDHC, it will read SD cards of 1 and 1.1 generations, but will not be able to read SDXC. This is why it is important to pay attention to what cards your device can read.

By the way, many “relatively old” laptops have built-in card readers that are not able to read new types of SDHC flash cards. The solution in this case is quite simple: buy a card reader connected to a regular USB port; by the way, it looks more like a regular flash drive. Price: several hundred rubles.

SDXC card reader. Connects to a USB 3.0 port.

The same drive letter is the reason why flash drives, hard drives, and memory cards are invisible!

The fact is that if your hard drive has a drive letter of F: (for example) and your inserted flash card is also F:, then the flash card will not be displayed in Explorer. Those. you go to “my computer” - and you won’t see the flash drive there!

To fix this, you need to go to the “disk management” panel. How to do it?

In Windows 8: press Win+X, select “disk management”.

In Windows 7/8: press Win+R and enter the command “diskmgmt.msc”.

Next, you should see a window that will show all connected disks, flash drives, and other devices. Moreover, even those devices that are not formatted and that are not visible in “my computer” will be shown. If your memory card is on this list, then you need to do two things:

1. Change its drive letter to a unique one (to do this, simply right-click on the flash drive and select the operation to change the letter in the context menu, see screenshot below);

2. Format the flash card (if you have a new one, or it does not have the necessary data on it. Attention, the formatting operation will destroy all data on the flash card).

Changing the drive letter. Windows 8.

Lack of drivers is a popular reason why the computer does not see the SD card!

Even if your computer/laptop is brand new and you just brought it from the store yesterday, this does not guarantee anything. The fact is that the store sellers (or their specialists who prepare the goods for sale) could simply forget to install the necessary drivers, or simply be lazy. Most likely, you were given disks (or copied to your hard drive) with all the drivers and you just need to install them.

In general, there are special programs that can scan your computer (or rather, all its devices) and find the latest drivers for each device. I have already written about such utilities in previous posts. Here I will give only 2 links:

1. Programs for updating drivers: ;
2. Finding and updating drivers:

Connecting an SD card via USB using some device

If the computer does not see the SD card itself, then why can’t you try to insert the SD card into some device (for example, a phone, camera, camera, etc.) and connect it to the PC? To be honest, I rarely remove the flash card from devices, preferring to copy photos and videos from them, connecting them to my laptop via a USB cable.

Do I need special programs to connect my phone to a PC?

New operating systems such as Windows 7, 8 are capable of working with many devices without installing additional software. Installation of drivers and configuration of the device occurs automatically when the device is first connected to the USB port.

For each brand of phone/camera there are utilities recommended by the manufacturer (see on the manufacturer’s website)…

1. Try connecting the card to another computer and check if it recognizes and sees it;

2. Scan your computer for viruses (). Rarely, there are some types of viruses that block access to disks (including flash drives).

That's all for today, good luck everyone!

So, if the operating system asks you to format a flash drive, is it possible to ignore this request and open it without formatting? It is impossible to answer unequivocally. In some cases, you can completely restore files, but there are situations when you still have to agree to formatting. We'll look at a few scenarios and give some valuable tips on the matter.

Everyone may one day encounter the error “Before using a disk in the drive, it must be formatted.” A computer or phone asks you to format a memory card when connected for various reasons: from incorrect removal from the connector to natural wear and tear.

In any case, in the absence of mechanical damage to the media, it is quite possible to open the flash drive without formatting and/or restore at least 40% of the information stored in memory. The main thing is not to agree to formatting, put the flash drive aside and carefully read this guide.

What Causes SD Card Error to Occur?

Emergency formatting is needed when the media is damaged mechanically or software. Most often this happens when:

• The flash drive fell
• was deleted incorrectly,
• formatted in an old phone/camera,
• was not removed while resetting the phone to factory settings,
• has exhausted its working resource,
• was formatted in an incompatible file system.

With mechanical damage and natural wear and tear, everything is simple: the more damaged the flash drive is, the less likely it is to pull something out of it. Although, of course, it’s worth trying anyway. Other problems can be fixed in 8 cases out of 10.

Windows asks you to format the flash drive. Do I need to agree?

Agreeing to formatting when the system leaves no choice makes sense only in one case - you don’t need a single file from the card. You can restore information after formatting using special programs for your computer and applications for mobile devices.

Attention! It is not a fact that any recovery software after formatting will return 100% of deleted files to you.

In a situation where you are not going to part with the information, do not rush with formatting. In addition, it is not advisable to format a mobile flash drive using standard Windows tools.

To check an SD card for reading errors you need to:

1. Insert the card into the card reader and connect it to a computer running MS Windows.
2. On your computer, open the command line (Start → Run → CMD).
3. In the command prompt window, enter the command chkdsk drive letter: /f/r, for example: chkdsk M: /f/r.
4. Upon completion of the check, try to view the contents of the card using the standard method.

If the SD card does not open and requires formatting, despite a successful check in ChkDsk, you will have to make a radical decision - format it and then try to recover the files.

Format a flash drive using SDFormatter

The formatting process through the SDFormatter program is no more complicated than formatting using standard operating system tools. Download SDFormatter and install. Next, you need to connect the flash drive to the computer via a card reader and do the following:

1. In the main program window, select the drive letters of the flash drive (look through “My Computer”;
2. In Option, select the formatting type;
3. Click the Format button.

Once formatting is complete, it is advisable to check the media on your computer. If the media is opened, it will be writable on the mobile device.

The SDFormat utility supports flash drive formatting types: Full OverWrite and Quick. Quick - superficial formatting, which only marks documents in the media memory as available for rewriting; Full OverWrite - deletes the contents of files with writing over zeros (blanks).

Attention! To retain the ability to recover files from a formatted flash drive through special applications, you must select the Quick format mode.

How to prevent a similar error from occurring in the future

The first thing you need to do to avoid the problem of lost files in the future is to train yourself to make backup copies of your files. You can store them on a cloud server, for example, Google Drive, Dropbox AND Yandex.Disk, on a computer or the internal memory of a mobile device.

Following a few simple operating rules will help protect your flash drive from reading errors, converting it to an unreadable RAW format, and extend the life of the device:

• You can use the safe removal function in your mobile phone too - before removing it, you need to disconnect the SD card in the settings (Settings → Memory).
• Do not allow falls, shocks, or water to get on the memory card.
• Regularly, at least once every 1-2 months, you need to copy the content to another location and carry out preventive formatting, preferably in Full OverWrite mode.
• Make sure that applications installed on a smartphone/tablet do not interact frequently with external memory, as this dramatically accelerates the wear of the latter.

And lastly: never store anything particularly important on the SD card, for example, documents or photographs of children. A card is not the most reliable option for storing information; it can break at any moment, and no recovery programs will help.

Question answer

1. I have a large flash drive (drive) with more than 15,000 photos and videos. Once I wanted to open a flash drive, they asked me to format it (I didn’t click). Mom, frightened, took the video to M., and when she brought it back, she said that everything inside had been removed. Is there a chance to get everything back?

Answer. You did the right thing. If the computer persistently asks you to format the flash drive, you do not need to immediately agree to the offer. It is advisable to think before you click OK and the files will disappear forever.

So, connect the USB flash drive to your computer, then download and install the Unformat program. Further steps to return files are described in the article at the specified link; video instructions are also posted there on how to recover files deleted on a flash drive and how to use the application as a whole.

Answer. When asked to format a flash drive, do not agree to the offer. Install the Unformat program and, after reading the instructions and video, try to recover files on the flash drive. Your friends may be wrong, because the files on a flash drive can be kept safe and sound until you try to format the drive or overwrite old files with new ones, and the likelihood of getting them back on the flash drive will decrease many times over.

If checking for errors does not help, and it is not possible to restore the files, well, there is nothing else left, you will have to format the flash drive. To avoid problems in the future, we recommend reading our manual, which describes all the stages and nuances of formatting:

The problem is this - Samsung tab tablet, marshmallow, the flash drive stopped working, Sony Micro SD 32GB 70MB, I insert it - it says damaged and asks to format it, it reaches 20% and crashes and the tablet does not see the memory card.

Answer. If the SD card on the tablet is not detected, you should check it for errors. This can be done via a computer.

Qumo memory card 16 GB. Purchased for a Samsung Galaxy Tab s 2 tablet. The files are recorded from the computer, everything is fine. Time passes (1-1.5 hours), files disappear, the memory card cannot be read by the tablet. When connected to a computer, the card does not open, but asks to format it immediately. Full formatting helps. After re-downloading the files, after 1-1.5 hours the same thing happens. What could be the reason, the memory card or the tablet is faulty? Everything is fine with the built-in memory of the tablet.

Answer. The memory card needs to be removed after turning off the phone, and on the computer you need to use safe removal (icon in the notification area). As a result of hot eject, read errors may occur in the future. It is unlikely that the problem is with the tablet, although it is possible that some applications on the device use the memory card for their work, and you interrupt the process or do not wait for the copying to finish and disconnect the cable or card reader from the PC.

Sometimes an error may occur as a result incorrect software installation, which may be due to a problem encountered during the installation process. This may interfere with your operating system link your SD file to the correct application software, influencing the so-called "file extension associations".

Sometimes simple reinstalling Awave Studio can solve your problem by linking SD with Awave Studio correctly. In other cases, problems with file associations may result from bad software programming developer and you may need to contact the developer for further assistance.

Advice: Try updating Awave Studio to the latest version to ensure you have the latest patches and updates.

This may seem too obvious, but often The SD file itself may be causing the problem. If you received a file via an email attachment or downloaded it from a website and the download process was interrupted (such as a power outage or other reason), the file may become damaged. If possible, try getting a new copy of the SD file and try opening it again.

Carefully: A damaged file can cause collateral damage to previous or existing malware on your PC, so it is important to keep your computer up-to-date with an up-to-date antivirus.

If your file is SD related to the hardware on your computer to open the file you may need update device drivers associated with this equipment.

This problem usually associated with media file types, which depend on successfully opening the hardware inside the computer, e.g. sound card or video card. For example, if you are trying to open an audio file but cannot open it, you may need to update sound card drivers.

Advice: If when you try to open an SD file you receive .SYS file error message, the problem could probably be associated with corrupted or outdated device drivers that need to be updated. This process can be made easier by using driver update software such as DriverDoc.

If the steps do not solve the problem and you are still having problems opening SD files, this may be due to lack of available system resources. Some versions of SD files may require a significant amount of resources (e.g. memory/RAM, processing power) to properly open on your computer. This problem is quite common if you are using fairly old computer hardware and at the same time a much newer operating system.

This problem can occur when the computer is having trouble keeping up with a task because the operating system (and other services running in the background) may consume too many resources to open SD file. Try closing all applications on your PC before opening Sound Designer Audio File. Freeing up all available resources on your computer will provide the best conditions for attempting to open the SD file.

If you completed all the steps described above and your SD file still won't open, you may need to run equipment update. In most cases, even when using older versions of hardware, the processing power can still be more than sufficient for most user applications (unless you're doing a lot of CPU-intensive work, such as 3D rendering, financial/scientific modeling, or intensive multimedia work) . Thus, it is likely that your computer does not have enough memory(commonly called "RAM" or random access memory) to perform the task of opening a file.

Try refreshing your memory to see if it helps open the SD file. Today, memory upgrades are quite affordable and very easy to install, even for the average computer user. As a bonus, you you'll probably see a nice performance boost while your computer performs other tasks.

is a portable computer. The same computer as a desktop one and it has the same parts, only smaller in size. That's why laptops are more expensive. It can be compared to a mobile phone, and a regular computer to a regular home phone.

In order to open a disk or flash drive on a laptop, you need to insert them first.

Let's start with a CD or DVD:

Look at the laptop:

Either on the side or front there is a device for disks. It's called a CD or DVD drive.

To open it, you need to press the small rectangular button.

When you press this button, a click will be heard and the drive will slide out slightly from the laptop. Gently “help” him move out all the way. Then you need to literally “put” the disk on it, shiny side down, and “push” it into the laptop until it clicks.

After you have inserted the disc, wait 15 seconds: the disc may open on its own (this happens with discs on which movies and music are recorded). If this does not happen, open the My Computer icon. It is either located on the Desktop, that is, on the screen, or it can be opened from the Start button:

Then double-click the left mouse button on the “CD drive” icon (can also be called CD-RW, DVD, DVD-RW drive).

What is recorded on the disk will open.

Now let's learn open flash drives. They look something like this:

In order to open a flash drive on a laptop, you need to insert it into a special hole:

You will find several of these holes either on the side or at the back.

After you insert the flash drive into one of the holes, open “My Computer” (let me remind you, it is either in “Start” or on the Desktop).

A new icon should appear there. For example, like this:

This icon is usually called "Removable Disk". Double-click on it with the left mouse button. You will see what is written on the flash drive (files and folders).

Before removing the flash drive from the laptop, click on the special icon at the bottom right (next to the clock) once with the left mouse button.

The message "Safely remove USB storage device" appears. Click on it once with the left mouse button. The message “Hardware may be removed” will appear. Now you can remove the flash drive from your computer.
