I have an 8GB micro sd card for my blackberry storm when i put it in. It says media card has inserted contains errors. to correct the errors use a disk error-checking utility on a computer. what do i need to do?

Hi,

The chances on any micro sd card showing errors can be either the files stored in it are corrupted or the card is simply bad already. You may try to identify the problem by performing the following steps.

1· Access micro sd card through a card reader. May it be built-in in a computer or an accessory that needs to be plugged-in to a computer.
2· Wait for a few seconds for the computer to read the micro sd card.
a· If it asked you to "open the folder to view files", do so then copy all contents in a new folder on your desktop. This is to make a backup copy of your files. Then, format the micro sd card with FAT32 format. Copy all files back to your micro sd card.
b· If it asked you to format the micro sd card, most likely all files are corrupted. Try to format the card for re-use. If not successful, your micro sd card is bad already and needs replacement.

I hope this works for you. Good Luck!

"Understanding explains better..."

Find a computer that has a slot that is designed to accept your Micro SD card.
Insert the card.
Open "My Computer".
Click with the SECOND (usually the RIGHT) mouse-button on the icon for the card.
Click Properties.
Click Tools.
Click Check for errors.

Or, the B.B.S. may have an option to 'FORMAT' the card, i.e., delete all the files (pictures? movies?) and thus make it completely "empty".
