Computer issue.

[peter clements]

Anybody here computer savvy? My PC has stopped reading my SHDC card it was fine last week. I think it's a windows update screw-up. In "my computer" it used to say "removable storage device F" now it says "Removable disc F" and now when I click on it ,it says "the disc in drive F is not formatted" .It's driving me nuts.

remove the card - reboot plug it back in - probally a driver hicup

Tried that.........no good.

Go into device manager and roll back the driver for it and that should fix the problem. It will get rid of the update driver

Grab large object, use said object to destroy PC and vent all frustration and anger. After PC is destroyed, buy a Mac. I have two Mac's at the shop and two at the house. Have had the house laptop and desktop since 2006, they still run like champions. You may pay a little more now, but you will save a lot down the road.

What about an Apple tablet?

You wont be able to do everything u can with a desktop on an apple i pad tho. Peter how aboit as a quick fix buy a usb memory card reader from bestbuy and just plug that into an available usb slot and should be good other then that for a premanent fix try rolling back those drivers

I've been using a USB card reader that's what was working fine, I might try a system restore.

Did a system restore, went back three weeks, still same problem, I'm wondering corrupted files?

PM me a landline number....Paul..

I use a program called CCleaner, use that and deepclean the PC once a week, I also use AdBlock, AdBlock Plus and NoScript plugin's on Chrome. It protects your PC even further. Combine that with Malewarebytes and you can keep your PC very clean and running just fine.

Usually with something like you're describing I'd Google stuff about driver issues with the hard drive you have and using Device Manager on Windows. There is a way to revert back to an older driver.

try the card on another computer - cards can get corrupted

The problem will be associated with the card/card reader programme....There are various small issues which can be addressed...SD-HC (High Contrast) cards are famously unstable, as opposed to ordinary SD cards...However, there are fixes, and as Nivek said, loading into and copying from a "newer" pc can work, unless of course the problem is corrupted data/run files....
