64gb

 hi-yes i’m a newbie needing help

  i had a brilliant idea–{i’ve been saving my videos -movies on laptop hdd with enclosures}but i thought about saving them on memory cards instead {easier to store-i have a lot of movies} but i got a couple if 64gb sandisk memory cards and have had a nightmare ever since-------i can save five movies {a total of 5gb aprox }anything after that shows on the menu but media player  and vlc says "unknown format "after the first five {the first five plays fine}

 ive tried formatting fats32 and ntsf–i’ve tried a compac-a vaio-a hp-a dell—with  xp-and vista----same result

     has anybody actually done this–or any ideas??

                                               thanks                      rt

Dear member of SanDisk Community, welcome.

1-      Please, first of all, clean the pins on the card with isopropyl alcohol (or common) .
2-      Put the SDXC 64 GB, in a laptop, directly to its port, with a good adapter (NOT a card reader).

         And see in “Properties”, what capacity shows.

If less than 59 GB, we continue:

3-     In Start/My Computer , on the card icon, click the right mouse button, and then click in Properties / Tools / Error Checking and Repair.
4-      If still bad, and shows a capacity of ~ 27 GB,  try formatting with (free): USB Flash SD Formatter 4.00,  http://filecloud.io/jqtu1byc

 

5-      If still bad, you can try, with three portable utilities (free), _whether they are fakes: _
5.1-   USB Flash H2testw 1.40,          http://filecloud.io/jl4fhn9b        -It’s the classic utility, but for 64 Gb, it takes ~ 4 hours.
5.2-   USB Flash FakeTest 1.09,        http://filecloud.io/n074g3x5      -It’s similar, but has a quick option, and takes minutes.
5.3-   USB Flash ChipGenius 4.00,   http://filecloud.io/rqa7etmv       -All data, of your UFD,

If there is no joy, thenplease, do not grieve more, friend.

Return it, is defective or fake. Link:  http://www.sandisk.com/about-sandisk/contact-us/

Luck, and then you tell us, what happened, please.
