Satellite L775-12L refuses to open SD Card

Hello!

I have a recent problem with my L775-12L laptop regarding SD Card Reader.

Since yesterday my computer refuses to open SD Card while it was always working before.
I didn't do anything with my computer and now when I insert my usual SDHC Card 8GB I am asked to format the card.

I have just downloaded driver "Card Reader Controller" from Toshiba Site but nothing has changed.

I am quite desperate as I am just back from Holidays and I can't wait to download my pictures on my computer.
Could someone help me to resolve this problem pleeeaaaase?

Thanks in advance!

Virginie

Answer "No" if asked to format the card. After, run command promt as administrator. Check letter name SD Card Reader. In command promt type "chkdsk /f %letter name SD Card Reader%:" and press Enter.

Thanks for your help.
I have tried your command but it doesn't work.
Just to be sure, if my SD Card Reader name is F: what is the exact command I have to type?
Thanks

Thks!

Here is the answer in French: Le type du système de fichier est RAW. CHKDSK n'est pas disponible pour les lecteurs RAW.

And translated in English: "The type of file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.

Does it help?

After further investigations it seems that this problem affects every SD Card I have (512 Mb 2 GB and 8 GB).
I could format an "empty test" SD Card with an external card reader (with plots for SD) on USB.

I was then able to format the SD Card from RAW into FAT but when I put it in my laptop SD Card Reader I have the same problem, my computer sees it in RAW again...

It seems that my Toshiba SD Card reader sees always in RAW format and I do not know how to change this into FAT

What card do you use exactly? SD card or SDHC card?
As far as I know the card reader of L775 handles:
SD card 8MB-2GB and SDHC 4GB-32GB

So 8GB SD cards are not supported by card reader.
But SDHC should be supported.

Are you able to format the card in FAT32 format?
Do that and remove the mark from “fast format” option…

My 8GB card is a SDHC card but I have the problem with 512 Mo SD Card too.
I succeeded formatting with my external SD Card Reader connected to USB (to NTFS or FAT32) but as soon as I try the SD Card into my internal SD Card Reader I can not open it and I am asked to format it again...And my internal SD card reader seems trying to read every SD card into RAW format.

Hi

Try to format the SD card or SDHC card using an 3rd party tool.
There is a nice utility called SD Formatter 3.1

For SDHC cards you should use an FAT32 file format
