    Found my old R4 card in the sofa earlier today, and I tried booting it up in my DS but I get a "SD/TF Card Error". I clean it off, place it in my PC and Windows says I need to format it. I'm like "lol ok" and press yes. It fails. I look and it says it's 31mb. I say "wat" and type in "diskmgmt.msc" in the find box. Disk Management says it's 30.6mb, and a healthy main partition. I clensed the micro SD again but get the same result. I see no signs of visible corrosion and the likes, so what's up?

    Trapped in my own thoughts.
    Two stageplays, a screenplay, and an album
    Don't trust Windows. Use this.

    It says that my card is write protected. The switch on the adapter is set to off.

    Sounds like the card's shagged to me. =|

    I'm with Overlord on this one. SD cards cost nothing these days, unless they're really big ones

    I've had this before with my R4. It was likely corrupted beforehand and you formatted it wrong, or it's just shagged for good.

    I stopped being cheap and bought a new MicroSD. Or well my grandpa did. He got me three of them, so that's cool. Moar games I guess.
