    Problems viewing my Micro SD card

    Hello,

    I have been using a Micro SD card in a R4 card with no problems, downloaded some new files and went to put them on the Micro SD card, put the card into a USB pen drive, inserted it into the computer, but I cannot see the files on the card. I got a bit worried put it back in the DS and all the games are there, but yet I cant see them on the PC?

    I am using the Wood Firmware, and have tried on my linux and windows machine? Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    FP.

      Yup, tried differetn USB ports, different reader x 3, and also tried different computer - strange one.....

      Maybe the card is knackered - Windows recognised it before but said it needed formatting?

        mine does that on a external hdd (2.5")does my head in!!!but at work reads no problem?

        does it still pop up as removable disc? maybe it is the mem card ,
        you could format it and try that-!!
        have you backed your card/games up previously

          put the disk in usb reader, put it in pc then:

          1. press start or windows.

          2. right click "computer"

          3. select "manage"

          4. select "disk management"

          see if it it shows up in there. also unisert/reinsert on this screen

          if it shows up, it will give ytou info like healthy, file types etc...

          it might show up as "unconfigured" which means you have to assign it a letter before you can use it....

          you might need to run as administrator to do this

            Click on organise,folder and search options and make sure the folders/files are not hidden.
