I have a SD Card that I used as ReadyBoost (with a card reader). Before that I formatted it as NTFS (512 bytes as allocation unit). It works fine. Now I want to use it on my cell phone. Cellphones do not recognize NTFS so I tried formatting, didn't work. Then tried formatting it on windows:
- FAT32 (with & without quick format) didn't work.
- FATex (with and without quick format) didn't work.
- NTFS again just to test if the card is fine (with & without quick format) didn't work.
but As a storage device or as ready boost device, it works flawlessly. I can copy files, delete and do whatever I like. Just that I cannot format. This is an expensive card (class 10) and I just wont like to throw it away and get a new one)
I even downloaded the SD formatter but it won't recognize the disk.
What exactly is the problem. Why I cannot format it but able to do all other operations.
Any solutions?
