Re: Vista recognize my Micro SD 8gb w/adaptor but WONT let me open until I format it!

As an emergency solution, could you read the drive on another pc, copy the files, then format your media on Vista, copy the files back?

since two computers have told you the same thing I would think its damaged. You might want to get a 3rd party disk utility that works on USB drives to see if you can repair/undelete/fix the drive without formatting. I dont know which work on usb but im sure a quick google will find you several


Hoep this helps
