Hi
I have this memory card of Kingston 32 GB class 4. Few days ago it was working fine until yesterday when it stopped working. I used it with my tab to store all the imp stuffs and I dont know how but the tab would indicate to mount the sd card even if it is mounted .I connected it to my PC with card reader and my PC did not read it. It contained many important files in it and was hoping if you could help me.
Thank you

you just format the sd card. with the tablet( because the tablet is able to at least read the card even if it is corrupt)
stick the card in -> click the left button on the bottom ( |=| < - looks like that some what..) hit settings->strorage -> formate sd card ( ignorwarnings of data lose)un-mount the card and proceed with above giving instructions^^
if you computer cant read it. stick it back in the tab mount it, ( make sure its still corrupted) and do 1(one time only) format with you tab. it will only erase the first couple blocks of data, so you device and computer more importantly can read it again and set up a new file system for you.
now you take that card out, unplug your card reader, stick the card back in the card reader and wait for it to install drivers and find your card.

(if it dosent find your card right away you may have to go in-> control panel, administrative tools, -> computer management ->disk management and assign a letter to you 32 gig card so it will show up in "my computer" sometimes this happens dont know why) dont format or anything! just assign a letter like Y ...

then download: http://www.piriform.com/recuva
run that and it can recover you complete card or just what ever is in there,say a single file....you dont need to buy it its free for single users.

if that dosent work we can go from there, if you decide to unplug it or take the card out for any reason be sure to use the "remove safely" in windows, button on the right corner or you may mess up your card again!.

you can pm me and i have another Restoration prog i can send you if recuva dosent work, i dont know where you can download it anymore but i can send it to you per email it has saved my ass many times.

Sorry it did not solve the problem. I sticked the card in the tab and went to the storage setting but there only usb storage is displayed and when i tried other card it showed sd card with the option to erase data but not with this card.
 
in that case im sry, thats all i got, if the card isnt reading anywhere then is broke, if its not physicly damaged i would send it back to kingston and demand a new on. http://www.kingston.com/us/company/warranty
