Ok all I've found the solution and what was causing it
> The micro-SD I was trying to use was originally in an Nvidia Shield where it was formatted for use as internal storage
> I attempted to use a Kingston External Card Reader plugged into my Windows 10 PC to reformat the micro-SD
> (I eventually figured out this reformat failed - because Windows read the 64gb card was only about 11mb in capacity)
> Reformatted the card using the micro-SD to SD converter (came with the card), in a Windows 7 laptop, using a built-in card reader. Another error, card reads incorrect capacity.
> Reformatted the card in the Nvidia Shield as Portable Storage
> Inspire 2 recognised the card as usable (green light on reader)
> FIXED!!!
> Reformatted the card INSIDE the Inspire 2, because I'm OCD like that
Diagnosis
Tried using Windows 10 and Windows 7 Operating Systems - that wasn't the problem
Tried using external and internal card readers - that wasn't the problem
Nvidia Shield Tablet formatting mechanism was the problem
(to assume all mobile devices screw up cards would just be speculation)
If you use the micro-SD as internal storage on an Nvidia Shield, it will screw it up until you reformat it on Shield as Portable Storage
We got there in the end!
I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem - but additionally confirms that this particular type of micro-SD card DOES work on the Inspire 2, as it did on the Inspire 1. |
