How can I complete format?

arslan tufail · Mar 21, 2012

I get "windows was unable to complete the format" error when I try to format my micro sd card on my computer. So I check everywhere in the drive and I find a folder that gives me "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" error when I try to delete or access it. I can delete everything else but it reappears after I reinserted the drive. I tried to format with command prompt and I get "invalid media or track 0 bad - disk unusable." I also treid Panasonic SDFormatter but I get "the memory card is write protected please release the write protect switch"

Card is dead dude, get a new one.

I also suspect you are Hashim56 because his threads are similar. Neither one of you (if you aren't him) are going to get very good help until you can make better posts. There is a link in my signature that will help you do that.
