None of these solutions will work if you insert the SD card and absolutely nothing happens but in the beginning of the video you stated that these solutions could fix that problem because it was in your list of possible problems. You can't scan a card that's not showing on your computer, you can't re-assign a drive letter for a drive that isn't showing that it even exists. None of these solutions are even possible if the drive isn't showing in the computer.
yeah this is my issue. I'm using a USB card reader and I've tried a couple other micro sd cards and they all read fine except for the one card that made me find this video. The other cards appear normally in "My Computer" however the one I'm having difficulties with, appears greyed out as if the computer detects a device is in the drive but cant read or access it. I attempted each solution in the video but alas none of them work. Even tried formatting but that doesn't work because the computer can't read or access the card :(
This is my situation. Bought a microSD, had to format it. After the format it disappeared, now none of my devices can it read it. (cell phone or any of my pc's)
Three Questions: How do you assign a new letter to a drive that isn't there? How do you scan a drive that isn't there? How do you learn anything from watching useless videos?
My SD card shows in my drives, I performed all the steps, but on the screen that I typed chkdsk e: /f .....well nothing happened. There was nothing disclosing after it.
Every UA-cam channel that makes money does this. It is just to connect with people who attend the videos often. This is pretty typical and is what gets people interested. You may just need to get better at skimming informational videos my dude instead of being salty.
@rapidtechhelp4508 thank you for the reply, but there is no physical damage. It went corrupt when I got an update on my Samsung Galaxy phone. Samsung of course denies any correlation.
Here is my tip: Most card readers have a switch on the left side (see the grey switch on the side at 6:57). Just move it down and insert once, then move back to the original up position and reinsert. Only this worked for me after trying various solutions for an hour, so maybe it could work for you too.
your tip really worked ! i only switched the grey thing down & my SD card straight away popped out on the laptop. thank god i came across to ur comment first. thank youu !
I need help with it. I put the sd card in a few minutes ago. and it worked. But then i filmed another video and put it in the computer and it didn't work. then I looked up this video and nothing seams to work for me.

At 3:03 you say "find out which of all these devices is your SD card". What? If the SD card showed up then I would not need to watch your video. The card does not show up, so I cannot assign a drive letter. It shows up on my other PC running the same Windows 10 immediately without issue. I'm about to throw away all my windows garbage machines and buy a mac.
The power of your video alone got the memory card reader working, wasn't doing anything, and when I started watching the video, the memory card drive window popped open. Thanks for the help
I actually tried formatting my SD card more than 10 times, yet unfortunately the issue is still present. My real problem is that the video still plays BEFORE I transfer it into the SD card but AFTER I transferred it, the video doesn't play anymore. Plus, the transfer speed is just a miniscule 355 kbps on average so is it possible to solve this issue (as well as increase the transfer speed)? The SD card is a white Sandisk 128gb & I've been dealing this problem for months.
Hi there, thank you for your question! Check the file system of the SD card: If the file system of the SD card is corrupted, it can cause issues with transferring files. You can try formatting the SD card using the FAT32 file system, which is compatible with most devices. To do this, insert the SD card into your computer, right-click on the SD card drive, and select “Format”. In the “File system” dropdown menu, select “FAT32” and click “Start” to begin the formatting process. If the issue persists, it could be due to a faulty SD card. You can try using a different SD card to see if the issue is resolved.
And my command promt shows (access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges or the disk may be locked by another process. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode and make sure that disk is unlocked) what can i do please me 🙏
I was halfway through reading all the comments, when the drive popped up on my desktop, thanks everyone, your comments really helped me, ummmmm, what was the video about? :-)
Extra tip: I would recommend opening it with Rufus and formating it to non-bootable. I had issues with SD cards (and pendrives) after they were formatted to bootable drives - they wouldn't be properly recognized by windows afterwards. Would only be able to reformat them to non-bootable with special software like Rufus (that's meant to create bootable media).
When i run the chkdsk d: /f command, it gives me "cannot open volume for direct access." - The computer recognizes that there is an SD card there, but telling me theres nothing on the card. However when I open the card on my cousins apply laptop, it runs no problem.

I came here because my memory card is broken (?) because it already been put in my phone but it can't be detected, i badly want it back because my phone is getting storage and i really need to transfer stuffs in it 🥺
"See I was on the verge of breaking down Sometimes silence can seem so loud There are miracles in life I must achieve But first I know it starts inside of me, ho-oh"
Yes, unprotect supposedly helps recognize it sometimes. Then adding files or working with it and pc knows to expect it due to it being added to its registry.
How am i supposed to do all this stuff when my sd card doesnt even show up in disk management?! Well i think i lost all my data for good What a way to wake up in the morning and find out you sd card is basically none existant over night
Hi there, Thank you for your question. To fix a USB drive not showing up on your computer, please try restarting your computer or plugging it into a different USB port. Check Disk Management for the drive and assign a drive letter if needed. Hope it could help you.
Your first advice, of making sure the SD Card is not loose, actually fixed my issue. My Phone SD Frame is broken and sometimes after inserting it into my phone it doesn't settle in perfectly. After securing it with a layer of adhesive tape, it was fixed. Many Thanks.
Meh... How can i find my SD card in device manager or cmd.exe if my computer can't even read my card 😂 Nothing worked, and my card is actually working... meh
Hi there, thank you for your question! If your computer can't read your SD card, it's unlikely that you will be able to find it in Device Manager or CMD. If you've tried all the troubleshooting steps and your card is still not being recognized, it's possible that the card has suffered physical damage or a hardware failure. In such cases, you can try using a different card reader or connecting the card to another computer to see if it can be read. If the card is still not being recognized, you may need to consider using a data recovery service to retrieve any important data from the card.
My issue is it says "memory card is empty" when is not, I can see all my pics and vids on the GoPro itself and I have uploaded from it before, same card, to same computer... now it says "Folder Empty" using my Laptop and tried on my cousins Laptop too, it says is EMPTY...??? Why? What happened to this memory card that I can only see it's content on the GOPRO itself... I really dislike technology!! 🙄
Hello sir, did you accidentally delete the files or formatted your card? If you want to find data back, Recoverit can scan the deleted files and recover them.
PLEASE HELP!!! Great tutorial. However, I was not able to recover the data on my SD card so far. Just purchased the program and run it on my laptop. On the SD card driver selection, it says "Lost 1 partition", however it also says that I still have over of 29GB of data on the SD card. The most annoying thing during the scan is that about every 2-3 minutes it pauses and brings this window by saying: "there are many bad sectors in the disk that scan cannot continue. It is recommended that you restore the currently scanned files asap", and it's only 2% of all scan complete. Yet, I don't see any files listed to Recover. Please HELP...!!!! I need some advice on what to do. I need to recover this data. I would really appreciate your guidance on what to do next. Thank you
same problem, so i have decided to give my pen drive to data recovery companies, they re expensive but probaby their technical expertise can get back my data, hope for the best
My problem is there is no recognition that a card is in the reader slot or a brand new USB3 card reader is connected. When I first plugged the USB3 in with an SD Card it didn't work, I re-started the laptop it worked. Next time it didn't work and hasn't worked since. So I can't use an external drive for re-start. the Laptop is 3year old Lenovo Yoga 500.
So what do you do, when you know the port is good (other cards detect just fine) but when this one in question is inserted, Disk management hangs, windows explorer hangs, and programs that access the file system hangs. Pull the card back out, and windows explorer unhangs, disk management unhangs and everything goes back to normal. Plug the card back in and everything hangs again. It's not a new card, its 128gb in size (and its authentic) It's about 8 months old, and has not been accessed for about 6 months.
It has never worked to simply pull things out and plug them back in for any computer I have owned. If Windows 10 cannot detect one camera card it probably means it cannot detect other camera cards until after another update.
I already check everything mentioned in this video so nothing was resolved. Next ... this is YT ... we want a quick fix so get to the point! The reason why I'm giving you a TD is not because I still have the issue. Even if my issues were resolved I would still give this video a TD! What was really annoying is you seem to think everybody is a 5-year-old. 1) get to the point 2) stop talking like your talking to a child!
I don't know if you've ever professionally worked in the IT industry, but a majority of users need stuff explained to them like they're 5, and since this video is aimed at everyone and anyone that has the problem, it has to be explained in a manner that the most technically illiterate will understand. There's no way of knowing if the viewer is a fellow IT user or a technophobe. Also, this is YT, which last I checked isn't a service platform where you "get a quick fix," it's a video platform, so you're at the mercy of the content creator. You came to the channel, not the other way, live with it and quit whinging.
@@Reploidx9 Like I said it was very annoying! First ... I'm not whining, I was critiquing, so that they produce better videos! Do you know the difference between whining vs critiquing? For some reason I doubt that your intelligent enough to know the the difference! Apparently you don't understand the English language? I said nothing about the technical information. Its about how its was presented! I don't think a bunch of 5 year old children are searching the internet on how to fix a SD card! If you don't like the critiquing information given then perhaps you should stop using YT. *Or at least stop your whining.* Your the one whining, I was critiquing! Now you have an example of whining vs critiquing! *Idiot!*
I like how you bring up that the sd card can be physically damaged, claim that "all these cards are easily recoverable", and then never go back to what you can do if the card is physically damaged. If the card is physically damaged, there probably isn't anything you can do, but you don't include anything for testing to see if the card is damaged (the damage may not be apparent on inspection) or not. Complete waste of time.
no mater what device i used Mobile or PC or anything it will not be Detected it's like there no sd card at all and it was working 100% in my old Mobile but after a year i try to teak the Data from it will not be detected
That's not the point, the method of changing the drive letter can't be done since the whole point is the drive isn't showing up. So this method isn't actually a method for this purpose to begin with, which makes many of the other methods un-usable.
@@TheMunkeeBone I think the card has become unusable due to a hardware issue like a spike or might have run its course. Replacement only would be the solution as the card cannot be accessed at all. It's as good as no card. 😔
Thanks so much ! Unbelievable! Tried everything as SD stopped working. The command prompt trick worked! I was so upset as had all my photos on. I am not computer minded , so was so happy it worked. Huge thanks
I think you forgot one of the main reasons people can't read micro sd cards on PC's. Most devices which use Micro cards ( like dash cams) use only Fat32 system, and yet PC's today all use NTFS. That is the problem. These days it seems Windows 10 is constantly updating and that always seems to change things within disk management in particular to all these removable device drives.
To troubleshoot a micro SD card that is not showing up, you can start by restarting your computer to see if the card is detected. If not, try using a different card reader or adapter, or try inserting the card into another device to see if it is recognized.
I have an sad card that I connected to my iPad with an sd card reader and accidentally removed it too early and my card always says “this image cannot be displayed”. Is there any hope for it?? I have a lot of memories on this card I don’t want to loose...😭😭
I had connected the micro SD card through a local reader to my samsung tv . It was working and after some time suddenly the micro sd card was not detected by tv and my phone . Plzzzzz help sir
The CMD method worked for me, had a handful of bad links to files that was stopping me from reading my micros on my pc, saved me a lot of time and stress from figure out how to wipe my custom 3ds and start over again, I appreciate you a lot
keep downloading new photos off my memory card using a card reader/ plugged into the MacBook. Then suddenly It doesn't read the latest ones off it. Nothing changed, and I can see them on the cam. Strange
But what do you do if you plug the Micro SD card into your laptop and NOTHING happens? There's no drive in disk management, there's just NOTHING. When it was working 5 minutes earlier, it showed up as a USB drive, always as D: in This PC. Now, I have nothing. Tried uninstalling my USB devices and letting them reinstall, all to no avail. There are no SD Card or related devices anywhere in device manager. It works fine on another computer and with a card reader adapter in my iPhone. Just this computer, which it was working in 5 mins ago, has been restarted multiple times, and everything... it's like you didn't even plug the card in. It's completely not recognizing it's even there. What do you do in THIS case?
Sir, It is showing like this in command prompt 👇and in device management it is not opening. What to do Sir. Please Kindly Help Me. 👇 The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.
Hi! I bought a MicroSD 512GB ShanDian. It showed 499GB free so I moved 100GB inside... Now says 200GB free and 200 Used but the folder is empty.... Do I need a specific driver for the large flash storage SD512GB to be recognised? [Is it possible to be fake sd?]
I have this issue where my computer gives the write protection error to every sd card I try, including normal ones and micro sd cards in the adaptor, got a tip for that? I had backed up my 3ds files so I could transfer them to a new SD card but this write protection thing kinda stopped that, I can copy files from it just fine, and the cards work perfectly on other devices, this just...doesn't work
funny i come up on your comment, im here trying to find some cool mods outside of universal updater (doin 3ds moddin stuff), but my laptops sd card doesnt work. trying to look into it.
I restarted my phone and out of nothing stopped recognizing it. I plugged the SD card into my laptop SD reader and it did recognized it, heck it even could browse through the files... then when attempting to examinate it and repairing it, it became no longer accesible for windows. and now I'm watching this... And how the frik I'm supposed to scan for viruses if I can't even get a read on the darn thing? Update: after backing up the files on another laptop that did recognize it for some reason, the problem fixed itself... after reinserting the SD card in the phone and resetting a few times... I don't understand...
Hi there. Thanks for the video. Well, I finally made it to the disk management and when I look below, It shows disk 0, which is the hard drive for the computer and below it, it says disk one removable and a letter (D) beside it and says no media below it. For some reason it is just not recognizing the card, but it does recognize the card in a way. Because when I pull the card reader out containing the 32 gb SD card, it disappears. The USB works because it shows my thumb drive when I plug it in and it comes up in the Disk Management and shows the size. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks.
32GB card, slightly used, one day to another its not detected by anything, not on my phone which i used with, not even on pc by any readers... Cool. Looks like SD cards are more trashy than HDD in a PC :D
My computer is not reading my full card. I have a 256gb card and my PC is only reading 512mb lol. It's telling me to format if I wanna use the other portions. Any help?
Ok Michael , ive got a sd card has always worked brill , now nothing . does not even show regardless in all 5 ways of your video. yes it may have virus in its information but if shows as nothing there at all , as if it is missing. cleaned contacts tried diffrent devices. not that i would want to format it but if it does not even appear, I have no option to do anything. have you heard of this before. all files on sd card are Mp2 for my Filmora video editing for doing youtube videos, so if i put in a camera or device it should play regardless of the drive letter. But when i try I get nothing at all . any ideas thx

hi man. i have an SD card 64gb and as i format it , shown as 58-59gb, i see its about the 1000-1024 "problem". So my question is that i need to fit in that memory card an image thats for raspberry pi3 game pack system. As i click properties in that image i see its 58.6 GB (63,020,466,176 bytes) but when i try to write it, it cant fit in the memory card. What i suppose to do? The image must not the problem, propably he has released it, he use it.
at cmd prompt if your card is not detectable...you will get ( cannot open volume for direct access) Recover it .... could not find it, possible new name for the product. if a virus has infected it you cannot scan the disk to check missing information or malware.
Here's the thing: my SD cards works on other devices (using it for car music all the time), first time computer wasn't recognizing it I had to go to BIOS and change: Legacy USB support from disable to enable.

3:45 what a life saver I can’t even begin to explain. I was at the verge of throwing my computer out the window
No seriously I’m so grateful you have no idea !!!!
"See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, ho-oh"
My SD Card Bend and have a lot of important data looking for possible solution
Hi there, thank you for your question! I would recommend taking it to a professional for further assistance.
I noticed that you had a micro SD card inside an SD card . Don`t forget the switch on the side of the card...
Yes, unprotect supposedly helps recognize it sometimes. Then adding files or working with it and pc knows to expect it due to it being added to its registry.
thanks
I'm trying to find my sd card that i lost back in November 2021 and I can't find the perfect solution!
How am i supposed to do all this stuff when my sd card doesnt even show up in disk management?!
Well i think i lost all my data for good
What a way to wake up in the morning and find out you sd card is basically none existant over night
Hi there,
Thank you for your question. To fix a USB drive not showing up on your computer, please try restarting your computer or plugging it into a different USB port. Check Disk Management for the drive and assign a drive letter if needed. Hope it could help you.
Your first advice, of making sure the SD Card is not loose, actually fixed my issue. My Phone SD Frame is broken and sometimes after inserting it into my phone it doesn't settle in perfectly. After securing it with a layer of adhesive tape, it was fixed. Many Thanks.

Can you show me how please?
Meh... How can i find my SD card in device manager or cmd.exe if my computer can't even read my card 😂 Nothing worked, and my card is actually working... meh
Hi there, thank you for your question! If your computer can't read your SD card, it's unlikely that you will be able to find it in Device Manager or CMD. If you've tried all the troubleshooting steps and your card is still not being recognized, it's possible that the card has suffered physical damage or a hardware failure. In such cases, you can try using a different card reader or connecting the card to another computer to see if it can be read. If the card is still not being recognized, you may need to consider using a data recovery service to retrieve any important data from the card.
just gave an air blow to sd card slot, it worked after trying dozen of drivers and softwares. Looser am I feelin rn!
Is it fixed now??
IT WORKED!!!! UNBELIEVABLE. Thanks for the comment. It worked greatly.
@@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware yess working fine.
My issue is it says "memory card is empty" when is not, I can see all my pics and vids on the GoPro itself and I have uploaded from it before, same card, to same computer... now it says "Folder Empty" using my Laptop and tried on my cousins Laptop too, it says is EMPTY...??? Why?
What happened to this memory card that I can only see it's content on the GOPRO itself...
I really dislike technology!! 🙄
Hello sir, did you accidentally delete the files or formatted your card? If you want to find data back, Recoverit can scan the deleted files and recover them.
@@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware no I didn't.. but thanks
PLEASE HELP!!! Great tutorial. However, I was not able to recover the data on my SD card so far. Just purchased the program and run it on my laptop. On the SD card driver selection, it says "Lost 1 partition", however it also says that I still have over of 29GB of data on the SD card. The most annoying thing during the scan is that about every 2-3 minutes it pauses and brings this window by saying: "there are many bad sectors in the disk that scan cannot continue. It is recommended that you restore the currently scanned files asap", and it's only 2% of all scan complete. Yet, I don't see any files listed to Recover. Please HELP...!!!! I need some advice on what to do. I need to recover this data. I would really appreciate your guidance on what to do next. Thank you
same problem, so i have decided to give my pen drive to data recovery companies, they re expensive but probaby their technical expertise can get back my data, hope for the best
My problem is there is no recognition that a card is in the reader slot or a brand new USB3 card reader is connected. When I first plugged the USB3 in with an SD Card it didn't work, I re-started the laptop it worked. Next time it didn't work and hasn't worked since. So I can't use an external drive for re-start. the Laptop is 3year old Lenovo Yoga 500.
Hi John, are you using the USB3 card reader on your USB3 port? Please try updating the SD/USB drivers and check if that fixes the issue.
So what do you do, when you know the port is good (other cards detect just fine) but when this one in question is inserted, Disk management hangs, windows explorer hangs, and programs that access the file system hangs. Pull the card back out, and windows explorer unhangs, disk management unhangs and everything goes back to normal. Plug the card back in and everything hangs again. It's not a new card, its 128gb in size (and its authentic) It's about 8 months old, and has not been accessed for about 6 months.
It has never worked to simply pull things out and plug them back in for any computer I have owned. If Windows 10 cannot detect one camera card it probably means it cannot detect other camera cards until after another update.
the cmd solution saved my ass THANKS A LOOOOOTTTTT but bye bye goPro no more!! thanks a lot again
Glad to help!
After a long time, and checking out the smaller SD slot, I realized that one of the pins of the lector was damaged, so it wont ever work =(
I already check everything mentioned in this video so nothing was resolved. Next ... this is YT ... we want a quick fix so get to the point! The reason why I'm giving you a TD is not because I still have the issue. Even if my issues were resolved I would still give this video a TD! What was really annoying is you seem to think everybody is a 5-year-old. 1) get to the point 2) stop talking like your talking to a child!
I don't know if you've ever professionally worked in the IT industry, but a majority of users need stuff explained to them like they're 5, and since this video is aimed at everyone and anyone that has the problem, it has to be explained in a manner that the most technically illiterate will understand. There's no way of knowing if the viewer is a fellow IT user or a technophobe.
Also, this is YT, which last I checked isn't a service platform where you "get a quick fix," it's a video platform, so you're at the mercy of the content creator. You came to the channel, not the other way, live with it and quit whinging.
@@Reploidx9 Like I said it was very annoying! First ... I'm not whining, I was critiquing, so that they produce better videos! Do you know the difference between whining vs critiquing? For some reason I doubt that your intelligent enough to know the the difference! Apparently you don't understand the English language? I said nothing about the technical information. Its about how its was presented! I don't think a bunch of 5 year old children are searching the internet on how to fix a SD card! If you don't like the critiquing information given then perhaps you should stop using YT. *Or at least stop your whining.* Your the one whining, I was critiquing! Now you have an example of whining vs critiquing! *Idiot!*
You are a hero, thank you
I knew my sd card was fine! xD
I like how you bring up that the sd card can be physically damaged, claim that "all these cards are easily recoverable", and then never go back to what you can do if the card is physically damaged.
If the card is physically damaged, there probably isn't anything you can do, but you don't include anything for testing to see if the card is damaged (the damage may not be apparent on inspection) or not. Complete waste of time.
no mater what device i used Mobile or PC or anything it will not be Detected it's like there no sd card at all and it was working 100% in my old Mobile but after a year i try to teak the Data from it will not be detected
Same
Thank you! For some reason the letter of my micro SD card was removed and when I assigned one again it started working :)
Dude, if the sd card isn't showing up, the we can't type in the drive letter in cmd because it doesn't show anything sd card.
Hi Munkee, that is why we have shared other methods as well. You can try out those.
That's not the point, the method of changing the drive letter can't be done since the whole point is the drive isn't showing up. So this method isn't actually a method for this purpose to begin with, which makes many of the other methods un-usable.
@@TheMunkeeBone I think the card has become unusable due to a hardware issue like a spike or might have run its course. Replacement only would be the solution as the card cannot be accessed at all. It's as good as no card. 😔
I highly recommend nordbirdhack on Instagram, he helped me recover my files.✌️
My computer isn't reading my sd card, how do you think I'm doing...lol
also on phone
card is not recognised, try chkdsk with a drive letter that doenst exist lol
Hi Ashley, please try out all the methods one by one as explained in the video.
Thanks so much ! Unbelievable! Tried everything as SD stopped working. The command prompt trick worked! I was so upset as had all my photos on. I am not computer minded , so was so happy it worked. Huge thanks
I think you forgot one of the main reasons people can't read micro sd cards on PC's. Most devices which use Micro cards ( like dash cams) use only Fat32 system, and yet PC's today all use NTFS. That is the problem. These days it seems Windows 10 is constantly updating and that always seems to change things within disk management in particular to all these removable device drives.
so what's needed to be done in that case if windows still doesn't read the sd card?
Man after working on this problem for a few hours I realized all I needed to do was push the MicroSD in a little harder smh
this comment saved me so much trouble thank u lol
Memory card isn't detected i all try all sources but still the memory card drive not display
the chkdsk command worked like a charm, saved us our entire vacation worth of photo storage. Thank you so much!

Remember to back up your data to a second location! Cloud storage usually works.

How to remove a virus from our SD card????
Deleat it is that ezy are y a baby
@@allamchele69 😂
The Mirco SD doesn't show up in any of these places at all what should I do now?
To troubleshoot a micro SD card that is not showing up, you can start by restarting your computer to see if the card is detected. If not, try using a different card reader or adapter, or try inserting the card into another device to see if it is recognized.
Changing the drive letter helped me finally after trying foru hours other methods! THANKS!
Glad it helped! Do subscribe our channel!!!
Yesss in my case too.. Many thanks. 👍👍👍I was holding screwdriver...
Will any USB card reader read an SDXC card, or does the reader have to be SDXC compliant?
Just EXACTLY HOW do you find out which is the right drive?
My SD card isnt even showing up in disk management. any help?

Did it actually work or a scam?
while our micro SD is not read by disk management 🤦
Please help me 🙏The option change drive letter is not open
I had connected the micro SD card through a local reader to my samsung tv . It was working and after some time suddenly the micro sd card was not detected by tv and my phone . Plzzzzz help sir
The CMD method worked for me, had a handful of bad links to files that was stopping me from reading my micros on my pc, saved me a lot of time and stress from figure out how to wipe my custom 3ds and start over again, I appreciate you a lot
What if it doesn't show up in disk management at all?
keep downloading new photos off my memory card using a card reader/ plugged into the MacBook. Then suddenly It doesn't read the latest ones off it. Nothing changed, and I can see them on the cam. Strange
4:21 there is no sd card reader showing under disk drives.
But what do you do if you plug the Micro SD card into your laptop and NOTHING happens? There's no drive in disk management, there's just NOTHING. When it was working 5 minutes earlier, it showed up as a USB drive, always as D: in This PC. Now, I have nothing. Tried uninstalling my USB devices and letting them reinstall, all to no avail. There are no SD Card or related devices anywhere in device manager. It works fine on another computer and with a card reader adapter in my iPhone. Just this computer, which it was working in 5 mins ago, has been restarted multiple times, and everything... it's like you didn't even plug the card in. It's completely not recognizing it's even there. What do you do in THIS case?
Sir, It is showing like this in command prompt 👇and in device management it is not opening. What to do Sir. Please Kindly Help Me. 👇
The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.
Hi! I bought a MicroSD 512GB ShanDian. It showed 499GB free so I moved 100GB inside... Now says 200GB free and 200 Used but the folder is empty.... Do I need a specific driver for the large flash storage SD512GB to be recognised? [Is it possible to be fake sd?]
I have this issue where my computer gives the write protection error to every sd card I try, including normal ones and micro sd cards in the adaptor, got a tip for that?
I had backed up my 3ds files so I could transfer them to a new SD card but this write protection thing kinda stopped that, I can copy files from it just fine, and the cards work perfectly on other devices, this just...doesn't work
funny i come up on your comment, im here trying to find some cool mods outside of universal updater (doin 3ds moddin stuff), but my laptops sd card doesnt work. trying to look into it.
I restarted my phone and out of nothing stopped recognizing it. I plugged the SD card into my laptop SD reader and it did recognized it, heck it even could browse through the files... then when attempting to examinate it and repairing it, it became no longer accesible for windows. and now I'm watching this...
And how the frik I'm supposed to scan for viruses if I can't even get a read on the darn thing?
Update: after backing up the files on another laptop that did recognize it for some reason, the problem fixed itself... after reinserting the SD card in the phone and resetting a few times... I don't understand...
Hi there. Thanks for the video. Well, I finally made it to the disk management and when I look below, It shows disk 0, which is the hard drive for the computer and below it, it says disk one removable and a letter (D) beside it and says no media below it. For some reason it is just not recognizing the card, but it does recognize the card in a way. Because when I pull the card reader out containing the 32 gb SD card, it disappears. The USB works because it shows my thumb drive when I plug it in and it comes up in the Disk Management and shows the size. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks.
NICE bro...
I having frustration about corrupt file...
And now...solve problem...
Txs brothe...

32GB card, slightly used, one day to another its not detected by anything, not on my phone which i used with, not even on pc by any readers... Cool. Looks like SD cards are more trashy than HDD in a PC :D
My computer is not reading my full card. I have a 256gb card and my PC is only reading 512mb lol. It's telling me to format if I wanna use the other portions. Any help?
Ok Michael , ive got a sd card has always worked brill , now nothing . does not even show regardless in all 5 ways of your video. yes it may have virus in its information but if shows as nothing there at all , as if it is missing. cleaned contacts tried diffrent devices. not that i would want to format it but if it does not even appear, I have no option to do anything. have you heard of this before. all files on sd card are Mp2 for my Filmora video editing for doing youtube videos, so if i put in a camera or device it should play regardless of the drive letter. But when i try I get nothing at all . any ideas thx
The 'assign the following drive letter' option is greyed out and unusable for me. Tried second option, got Cannot open volume for direct access. So, entirely screwed. Seems i've lost everything that was on it :(
The Solution number 3 worked for me! Thank you very much! You saved my memories!
hi man. i have an SD card 64gb and as i format it , shown as 58-59gb, i see its about the 1000-1024 "problem". So my question is that i need to fit in that memory card an image thats for raspberry pi3 game pack system. As i click properties in that image i see its 58.6 GB (63,020,466,176 bytes) but when i try to write it, it cant fit in the memory card. What i suppose to do? The image must not the problem, propably he has released it, he use it.
at cmd prompt if your card is not detectable...you will get ( cannot open volume for direct access) Recover it .... could not find it, possible new name for the product. if a virus has infected it you cannot scan the disk to check missing information or malware.
Here's the thing: my SD cards works on other devices (using it for car music all the time), first time computer wasn't recognizing it I had to go to BIOS and change: Legacy USB support from disable to enable. And it worked... now it's happening again and this trick isn't working anymore, I tried. None of your solutions from this video don't work either, there's no virus, no SD card listed in disc management, drivers are all updated to latest, ran CHKDSK too... I don't know what else to do!!
When I connect my SD card to my pc, it shows for a second and disappear, I tried in other devices, tried other ports and other holders. But issue was never fixed. please help.
Thank you.
PLZ HELP . i put my sd in another device it Show format and gave sentence of don't remove or shut down device to avoid data lost i didn't read that and i shut down device removed sd card when i put sd card in my in which i removed sd card it there is not data in it all data got clear

It's my dashcam that has suddenly decided the SD Card is missing... Was working fine this morning and issue occured mid journey when my dash decided to turn off because of "No Card"🥴
my card is not showing up any where..neither disk management nor disk utilty on mac..is it permanently corrupted?
while shooting camera stopes shooting all of sudden and card started not accessed by camera..now the card is not showing at all neither in windows nor mac..
Did you ever find a solution ?
What if it's an incompatible SD card, cus it's from 2003 but you got windows 11?
I suggested to a Reddit user to try it on a pc with windows 8.1 as that's where apparently the sd card he has ended support, unless I misunderstood.
But I also suggested to try a virtual machine with Windows XP.

I don't understand why this video is called "How to Fix SD Card Not Detected..." when in this video the sd card actually shows up.
3:08 in disk management the disk is shown in this video.
3:55 you have to type in the drive letter of your sd card that is not showing up (How to do this?)
4:24 you have to update the driver of the device that is not showing up (I have one sd card that's show up here and another that doesn't)
If am not wrong I guess assigning drive letter fix was my idea lol 😁 ! Great Video
