Win 7 can't see Micro SD, though card works

redfenixredfenix Aka'd as rfixRegistered User regular
So, I have a micro SD card (Sansisk, 2Gb) that i use for DS Lite homebrew. It has stuff on it, and is readable and works via the DS

But, when i try to read it off the computer, it wants to format it, and can't even do that.
are there drivers or something i need for win 7 to see it?

Basically, win7 can't read it

ugh

    how did you write the homebrew stuff to the disk.

    Maybe its using a format/filesystem that is not compatable with windows

    IIRC there was a Windows Update for Win7 that fixed a specific SD reader issue. Check for that.

    just the normal like, copy paste

    i haven't done anything with it in quite a while; i'm wondering if it was back before i installed win7
    either way, my pc read/wrote to it just fine back when

    Have you tried a different reader/computer?

    and have you put it back in the DS since you started this to make sure the files are visible still.

    I know you mentioned it in the op but you didnt say when.
