I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but it sounds like your card is fried. If your computer cannot read it and what's more, cannot format it, it's certainly corrupt and probably damaged.

I would try putting it into another phone just to see if that will read it, but I'm not very hopeful it'll work if a PC cannot access it.

the computer is reading it but it doesn't let it format i've been trying to format it through the phone and through the computer but it won't let it format, i don't know what to do, also i just don't understand how did this problem start i mean i don't understand how did the micro sd card become corrupted in the first place it was working fine before i don't understand what happened, just please help me find a way to format it at please thanks

SD Cards, believe it or not, are not too reliable. And in my experience with Samsung phones, they tend to fail A LOT (but for others they've worked flawlessly for years). You can really only format it either through a computer or a phone, not too many options there.

You said the PC does read the card. Can you see any of the files in there? Open any of them? If so, have you tried writing any file onto the card? Try copying a picture or creating a TXT file just to test.

it does recognize the drive shows but when i click on it it gives the message B\ is not accessible incorrect function i than tried formatting it but the formatting option doesn't show, i can i format it

Yeah, that's what I thought. Again, I'm afraid your card is damaged. It will see that it's inserted, but it won't be able to access the data or write onto it, therefore, won't be able to format it either.

Again, I'd try in a different PC but I wouldn't keep my hopes up

Firstly make sure ur card is properly dismounted from the phone and now switch off ur phone den insert the sd card and den turn it on den try maybe dis will work and if dis doesnt work try inserting it into the given samsung adapter (the bigger one) and den into ur computer and den format it. Hope this helps man i know this sd card problem can be frustrating!!!

 

[naseem73]

still not working looks like i'll have to buy a new sd card but won't the problem happen again even after i buy a new sd card

And make sure to keep backups, especially if you use the SD Card for pictures.
