moving microSD to another device causing it to get corrupted ?

[tonnycassidy25]

today i try moving my microSD from my note4 to a p1000 tab (yep ,a very old tablet) because i accidentaly broke the audio out on my note4 so im planning to use it as a media player ,but when i put the sd card in the tab say SD CARD DAMAGED.but..... why ? it was working fine on my note 4 before ,what causing it to get corrupted ? ,now the sd card partition shown as RAW on disk management,and i have to wait few hour trying to recover my data

and the micro SD card i am using is from sandisk,not from those generic brand

Hey there, Tonny.

If the memory card is shown as RAW, either the partition's files system has become corrupted or the card might be failing. It's difficult to determine what could've caused this. As you were using it with a different tablet, putting it in a new one might have triggered that as most phones and tablets need to reformat the memory card before they are able to recognize it. After you recover your data try reformatting it via Disk Management, to see if it works fine. If everything seems to be OK, put it in the tablet you want to use it with and let it format the card so that it can use it.

Hope that helps.

easeUS saved me,the only thing that make me confused is that when im still using a 32gb sandisk ultra (fat32) i do the same moving the card for like 20 times a day and its okay,the problem only happening on my brand new 64GB sandisk extreme (exfat) card
thanks for the reply btw

Sure thing. Maybe that's the problem. The exFAT file system is considered a more "fragile" and unstable in comparison to FAT32 or NTFS. If you feel adventurous and don't mind experimenting a little bit, you might try reformatting the 32GB memory card to exFAT, to see if the same thing happens.

I know I have a lot of old(er?) phones that only support up to 32GB cards. Perhaps this is normal for cards that are larger then it? I've never tried to plug a 32+GB card into one so I'm not sure what happens. But if it only supports 32GB I can see it throwing an error when it sees something larger.

Actually @4745454b had a pretty good point there, which I've missed. Older phones and tablets didn't use to support 64GB memory cards. I don't know the specs of the tablet you are referring to, but you might check what's the restriction for it in terms of size for memory cards.

the gingerbread android causes the exfat card to get corrupted,and yes the same thing happen when i format the 32gb to exfat ,when i put it in a msgbox pop up "SD CARD DAMAGED"
