Root SD card reports errors in windows

[mikem0269]

The last 3 times I pluged the phone into the computer windows is saying there are errors on the card and wants to fix it. I have selected no and had no problems but i just downloaded the mik3d rom and moved it to the sd and tried to flash it. I wiped dalvic cash, cash and data then flashed superwipe 3 times also but the mik3d flashed rather fast. when I rebooted it would not boot up so i had to restore. this has me thinking there might be an error on the card but would windows be able to repair that or is there an app that would better understand the android file system.

you can use windows to scan for errors and attempt to fix them....put your sd card in the adapter and put it in your computer....first i would make a copy of the drive and save it on the computer....then go to my computer or computer depending on wich windows you are running...then right click on the drive that pops up for your sdcard....then click on properties, then the tools tab....you should see an option that says error checking...run that and just select the options on the pop up....data on sd cards can become corrupted...

I get that on one flash drive. I can format it, use windows to fix it, nothing works. It always comes back. I just ignore it. Not a big deal to me.

New flash cards are relatively cheap compared to what they were 5 years ago. You might just look into buying a new one if your still using the one that came with the phone.

Your talking 13$ for an 8gb class 6. Here is my favorite website for shopping for such things

Newegg.com - Cameras, Digital Camera Accessories, Flash Memory, Class 6, Micro SDHC

How freaking weird that when I get home today this exact thing happens to me. I went ahead and let windows find and automatically fix errors. it took about 2 minutes for my 16g card then reported no errors found. I unplugged and plugged it back in a couple times and the error went away. STRANGEEEEEEE.

Running windows 7 64bit. Im wondering if its just a file name that windows dont like. Ill do this when i get home and report back if windows repairs it or destroys it. the phone and card is only like 5mo old.
Thanks everyone for the help.

So I let windows scan the card this time and when it finished it reported no problems found so I think it might be windows. Maybe time to format the laptop and run Linux.

You may want to note this:

Your SD Card is formatted to FAT or FAT32 both which are Microsoft. I think the reason for this is because most users are on a Windows based machine and the companies (HTC, Sprint) realize that user may actually want to transfer files with a cable. Windows lacks the intelligence to recognize a file system that is not its own. So technically Windows doesnt even see the android file system that is on the phone itself it only see the SD Card.

replace "Fools" with something a tad more colourful

You might just want to do that. I've been really enjoying the latest from Fedora. It has gnome 3, which I'm not a big fan of, but I'll give it a chance.

You could try a live disk and then not have to worry about anything.

Yes gnome 3 is taking a little getting use to. I'm also running F15. I am glad I found some tips to help me with Gnome. Its my favorite desktop hated to see it change so drastically.

Even Linus said Gnome 3 was a piece of crap. Personally I will not be making the switch.... Although being a heavy PC gamer I typically live in Windoze anyhow
