Question SD card recognised in Nokia 301 but not in laptop's SD slot ?

[aryeh]

My SD card works in an old Nokia 301 phone. I have formatted it there. But when using it in a PC it doesn't show. If I put it into the SD slot on a laptop the card shows in the list of windows explorer, but I can't access it in any way.
Disk part doesn't recognise it. Neither does Macrium.

How can I get it to work on my laptop again?
Thanks.

The phone will very likely have formatted the card to some 2013 Nokia file system that Windows doesn't understand.

What do you want to do, exactly?

If you want to get data off the card, try putting it back inside the phone and connecting the phone to your computer via USB, or even maybe Bluetooth.

If you don't care about the data on the card (and you're really sure that you don't care if you never ever see it again) and just want to use it, then you can just format the card using windows (which will wipe everything from the card), although I doubt it's worth doing given the likely age and size of it.

Edit: when you say you have formatted the card in the phone, it's not clear when. If you did that recently then there's no data on the card now anyway, except what you've added since. Either way, you can't use the SD card to transfer files between phone and PC.

The SD card isn't so old. It has previously worked in a PC. When connecting through the Nokia 301 I can access the card and even format it. But it is still not recognised when using in the PC directly.

As such I can't format it using Windows since windows doesn't recognise it.

You said it shows up in Windows Explorer though?

Post a screenshot of your This PC window, and the menu that appears if you right-click on the drive, if the drive is there.

The SD card isn't so old.

That doesn't stop the Nokia formatting it with an old file system that Windows doesn't recognise. But at the moment it's very unclear what you mean by "doesn't recognise" when you're saying Diskpart doesn't recognise it but it shows up in Windows Explorer. Screenshots would help.
