Hi Guys,

I have this Transcend 8GB Micro SD Card.

When I insert into my pc, windows prompt for format, when i proceed to format, it displays "windows was not able to complete the format"

when i cancel the format, it shows 3MB with a drive label name.

what should i do?

@geeteam! I have shared all the available options with you, If they are not working then contact Transcend Customer support and ask for RMA! :)

Mmmh! Am sure it might come from China cos i have tried all my best on how i can format this successfully. It keeps failing... Meaning its not original. if something is not Original then its FAKE ...

I HATE China for that :angry:

You can try to see if it works in another 'enviroment', let's say parted magic.

There're utilities for partitioning drives and/or checking it's health.

It's part of UBCD or you can download it separately and create a bootable cd/usb

Good luck
