Can't write to a micro SD card
 

I've had an old micro SD card knocking about the house, not sure where it came from or if I've ever used it.
Tried it in my Sansa Clip+ Mp3 player but I can't add anything to it. I've tried formatting it, but still no luck.

Any help appreciated thanks :)

Surely not :(

They're cheaper than chips anyway. Especially if it's an old one

ok, so recommendations where to buy & what size to get? I guess the bigger you get has economies of scale then it starts getting ridiculously expensive for the higher capacity. The player accepts up to 16GB (it has 2Gb internal) I was thinking 4 or 8 :smt102

I always get the max the device can handle but it's up to you. I just got a 8gb off amazon for about £15

7dayshop or mymemory have used both, but only ever buy sandisk cards, not the cheapest, but never had a problem.

The player was only £26. Can't find a 16 for less than £30 odd.

I fancy 3x 4GB for £10, http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC...Card---Class-6 but it's out of stock. It was an offer, so does that mean it won't be repeated?

I've had them in a similar state before, and it can sometimes depend on the device you're using to format them with.

Option 1.
Try to format it in a camera.

Option 2.
Place card in card slot on PC (if you have one), alternatively this will probably work with usb drive too.

1. Start > Run > cmd
2. Type DISKPART
3. Type LIST DISK
identify the faulty disk. Disks will be listed with total sizes of disks, so make sure you get the right one - don't want to go formatting your hard drive ;).
4. Type SELECT DISK x (where x is the appropriate disk number from step 3.)
5. Type CLEAN ALL
6. Type CREATE PRIMARY PARTITION
7. Type SELECT PARTITION 1
8. Type ACTIVE
9. Type FORMAT FS=FAT32
10. Type ASSIGN
11. Type EXIT

If that doesn't work, then yes, it probably is fubar.
