• Impossible to format my Sandisk Ultra Plus 16 GB MicroSD

  Hi, I bought this product about an hour ago from Bestbuy. It was sealed in his case, there is no way, it was a homecoming.

  When I insert the SD card with the inside microSD adapter to my computer, it asks to format the drive. Then the Format Windows removable disk appears and says that my card is 30.6 MB... When I click on Start to get in shape, with the default given the options, it returns back that it is impossible to format.

  I tried the SD Formatter 4.0 card. He says that it is write protected, even if the switch is not in write protect mode.

  I have a MicroSD USB Reader. I tried this way too, and it does not work.

  I would like to get assistance.

  I found my problem.
  As well my card reader USB MicroSD and SD of the laptop slot could not format/read it. I don't know for what reason. But they were a couple of years.

• What is the unit allocation size that is displayed in the window to format USB?

  Original title: allocation unit size

  What is the unit allocation size that is displayed in the window to format usb

  Hi Moaz,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you want to know the unit allocation size that is displayed in the format USB window. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  I will certainly help the question of fixing.

  In computer file systems, a cluster is the unit of allocation of disk space for files and directories. To reduce the load of the management of data on disk structures, the file system allocates no individual disk sectors, but contiguous groups of sectors, called clusters.

  On a disk that uses 512-byte sectors, a 512-byte cluster contains one sector, whereas a 4-Kibibyte (KiB) contains eight sectors.

  Refer to the below mentioned article and see if it provides information that you are looking for.

  By default for NTFS cluster size, FAT and exFAT:

• Impossible to format the full Volume - Adaptec 3405

  

  As you can see, the unit supports and recognizes correctly the volume of 2 TB, but breast of ESXi is impossible to format a VMFS beyond 45.26 GB volume.  It seems that we are stuck in a total of 50 GB of space on a volume of 2 TB.  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  nniemeyer2

  Your volume TB 2.04, VMware is limited to a size of 2 TB - something more volume that wraps to lose the first 2 TB. Then the 40 GB, you can format is 0.04 CT.

  Resize/re-partition your device less than 2 TB.

• Impossible to format or use USB - external HDD - storage device.

  I have a computer at home using Windows 7 and laptop using 7 Starter. I also have a 350GB HD and DVD writer unit that attaches via USB. Computers see the DVD burner and the hard disk consider both as a mass storage device. However, when recording work this unit is not available as an option. It may need to be formatted. Windows seems unable to cope with this task. Any ideas how to use this hard drive? Suggestions welcome. Main computer is an all-in-one advent. The phone is a Samsung.

  If the external hard drive was manufactured until Windows 7 is released, you may need to download a driver for him to the company that makes it.  A number of people have reported this is the case.  You didn't say what brand drive you have or how old he was.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Impossible to format Kingstion USB

  Hi, I have Vista and XP machines and both can not format my Kingston 126 G USB. I looked at many other forums, there is a lot of suggestons\recommendations, but so far no chance here.

  What I've experienced so far, it's that I can get in shape through the "disk management" from RAW to exFAT and displays the USB like "Healthy (Primary Partition)" and as "base type". However, when I try to format it in ntfs it fails... Any suggestions are welcome...

  Mike

  Hi Mike,.

  read this thread until your last post, I would say that I don't know if your problem is rooted in MS tools to make great readers USB and change facing he gives structure of the system, or is it a problem with the device itself.

  Looking for another way, you can try to format your USB stick with a nonWindows such as 'Parted Magic' tool which is OpenSource software with many features for handling and disk management. You can download it here:

  http://PartedMagic.com/

  If you have not already tried it and you succeed I would certainly say that your problem is definitley specific Windows

  The problem here is: you must "ISO Recorder" or similar software to burn the Iso Image to CD. Subsequently, you can boot from this CD and start the program.

  It will be useful.

• Satellite 2450-201: impossible to format SD card 4 GB card

  Hello

  IA´m an owner of Satellite 2450-201 and I have a big problem.
  I just bought a 4 GB SD memory card and Nice, it adapts to the side slot on my laptop.

  This is the first time using the memory card, so a needs-to-format window appears when I try to access.

  The window has the right information: 3.78 GB, Fat32,...

  I click 'OK' and informs the Windows (XP SP2): impossible to complete format (here is Portuguese, then it is translated into English)

  If the correct size is informed, 3.78 GB, why windows can't format it?

  My laptop is virus and spyware free (only 23 spots in the running and supervision), I have SP2, Bios (most recent) 1.50, SD my controller drivers is up to date (the last and the only one that was released in 2003).

  Also tried third party "Panasonic SDFormatter 2.0". He reports the (physical) unit or the mem SD stick is not compatible with the program. And the same effect occurs: the Sd device lost the nice icon and I need to remove/insert the SD card to see again the same story.

  Help me please, friends.

  Hello

  It of very strange that you re possible to see the plugin SD card. Some people suggested that this SD card supports only 256MB, 512 MB cards and more with no MMC support.

  I put t know if you have a format utility Toshiba SD card installed on the laptop, but on many notebooks of utility such Tosh is preinstalled and could be used for formatting of the card.

  According to some poster in this forum the Portege M400 utility format could handle 2 GB, but not sure about 4 GB SD cards.
  If possible, you can try to install this utility on your laptop, but you know you don't have much chance that it works.

  I think that in this case only an external SD card reader will help you.

• How to format USB 3.0 player to play more than 4 GB on TV media

  Hello

  I'm looking for a way to format a USB drive to play media on my television. This problem seems to occur when the upgrade to El Capitan. I could always format the USB to play large files of 5 to 15 GB and easily play through my smart TVs. I am able to always format the drive to the exFAT to enable the large file size, but my TV does not recognize the drive and therefore can't play.

  Is anyone else having this problem or knows how to solve this problem? Thank you

  What format your TV so not recognize ExFat? If the TV accepts the format ExFat, you can try formatting the drive ExFat using a Windows PC to see if it works.

• Satellite U400-112: impossible to format the local drive (damaged MFT?)

  Hello!

  I had a pretty serious problem with my HARD drive.
  250 GB HARD drive
  C: 116 GB - NTFS - Windows XP (Vista initially)
  D: 1, 5 GB - NTFS - (Vista Recover?..)
  E: 117 GB - RAW (was NTFS prior to crash)

  Local drive E: MFT have been damaged because of the virus attack (I hope not because of my madness!). It's NTFS, now it's RAW. I got all the necessary data partition with program ZAR, but all my attempts to recover or just the format E: remained unsuccessful.
  None of the defective sectors found on the HARD drive. Standard Windows tool to format the disks fails: 'it's impossible to finish the formatting of E:

  Before this problem with the E: drive, I had several problems with HARD drive. I have never divided re discs, to Partition Magic from the beginning he identified incorrectly. I tried Partition Magic 7 and 8.
  Link: [error screensaver | http://cs1498.vkontakte.ru/u169802/154397/x_3a82b4fb.jpg]

  The problem is that the special programs (I tried "find and Mount") also could not identify partitions to correct the defective MFT. I thought that low-level format can help me, but I heard, that the use of all applications for other producers can probably destroy my HARD drive. Are there only special applications of Toshiba developed for such cases? Or you can advice me something else?

  Thanks for your help!

  P.S. These applications did not help me:
  Find and Mount (can't find the HARD drive)
  Acronis Recovery Expert (does not find the HARD drive)
  OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional (does not resolve the error, but help to recovery data)
  HDD Regenerator

  Thus you get back all your important data?

  I would like to just launch Recovery to restore the HARD drive to its factory condition. If the recovery fails, you can try to delete the partitions with FDISK from a startup MS-DOS disk. Free bootdisks can be found at www.bootdisk.com

  FDISK can also repair a Master Boot Record by running this command: FDISK/MBR
  But it is not 100% reliable, it could cause more harm than good.
