CARD Computer SD card can't format
-
Today I received my CARD Computer and I'm loving it's design. I was playing around with the included apps and I ran into a problem with the notes app. I tried 3 different SD cards but none of them can be formatted. I get the following error message.
SD card mount failed Press enter to try again ctrl + q to quit ctrl +f to format
Naturally, I press
ctrl + f
to format the card, but I get another error.Failed to mount SD card, is it inserted? Press enter to continue
Any tips for getting past these errors?

What SDcards did you try?
Also use a proper formatting program to format the cards to MSDOS fat format.

The SD cards I tried are shown below.
- Micro Center Micro SD XC 128GB
- Lexar Micro SD HC 4GB
- SP Micro SD HC 4GB
I took your advice and I used gparted on all of them. I created a msdos partition table, then created a fat16 primary partition table. I was seeing the same errors from my initial post.
I tried fat32 as well. I was seeing the same errors.

The 128 won’t work as its way to big, the 4g should work. Do they work on a computer?

Ok, 128GB too big, that makes sense. Yes the two cards work on a computer when I use a USB adapter. I can read and write to them both. Could it be the HC part that's incompatible? These are all cards I used to use on a GoPro camera so they have the SD HC attribute. Haven't had any luck yet with them on the Cardputer. I'm looking around for other SD cards to test.
