Hello!
My mother just purchased a 10.1" Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet. In the specs it says:
I'm sure this is possible, but we have yet to be able to do so. We tried two different microSD cards:
SanDisk Ultra 128GB microSDXC UHS-1 w/Adapter
MiniMIcro 256GB microSDXC Class 10
I tried to format both cards as internal storage. The 128GB card just said "corrupt" after a few minutes of trying to format. The 256GB card shut the tablet down and I couldn't turn it back on until I removed the card. That card is also, now, corrupt. I tried contacted B&N about the problem and they claim the cards should work no problem. After digging through the manual, I discovered that it says that microSDHC cards up to 32gb are supposed to work and microSDXC cards up to 64GB are supposed to work. Also UHS is not supported. I have no idea what kind of card I can use with the tablet and they haven't been much, if any, help. This is driving me crazy.
Part 2: Is there anything I can do to fix the corrupted cards? I tried getting them to read on a 10 y/o computer with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but it doesn't seem like the computer even recognizes they're inserted. If not, I'll be out about $75.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, if possible. Thank you.
