Error message after connecting a high capacity memory card in Windows XP

Media cards or memory cards like Secure Digital (SD), MultiMedia Card (MMC) act as storage devices. The memory cards allow you to store data in the form of pictures, videos, etc, depending upon their storage capacity. Corruption in the memory card can occur due to various reasons like, file system crash, read/write error, virus infection, etc, which may result in loss of your important data from the memory card. In such circumstances, you need to have an updated backup to restore your data. However, if the backup is not available, then a Digital Photo Recovery Software will enable you to recover your lost data completely.

For instance – you are trying try to connect a SD card with the storage capacity of more than 8GB to a Windows XP based system. When the memory card connects to the system, you encounter the below error message:

“Disk is not formatted.
The disk in drive Letter is not formatted.
Do you want to format it now?”


After the above error message occurs, you fail to access the data stored in the memory card.

Cause:

This error message occurs if the memory card uses FAT32x file system. This happens because of the fact that Windows XP supports FAT32 file system and is unable to read the contents or data stored in the memory card.

Resolution:

To resolve the above issue, you need to format the memory card with FAT32 file system. But, when you format the memory card, all the data stored in it gets deleted.
