Hi

Im new so please bear with me. Just had my vega a couple of days and seem to have done soemthign to the SD card. All was well until linked to my pc (didnt install the media exe) and then tok the sd card out without 'unmounting' first.

Now my vega works still but doesnt recognise the sd card...and neither does my pc if I stick it in an sd adaptor. So is the card fried or have I doen something by not unmounting/mounting it correctly?

Have to say the support guide is crap and doesnt tell you how to do this!

So im worried I may have lost all the preinstalled files on it. A few questions please:

should I try the mount/unmount now and see if that fixes it?

if not I have a new sd card on order...how do I format it and get the preinstalled folders on to it....does the vega do that?

any advice welcome!

Thanks

Hi bbefore this happened i could see the sd card abd it already had some folders on it such as vega media which containes an exe installarion i believe. So if i insert a new sd card should i plug it in then slect, mount,? Will it then create any necessary folders??

I bought a 16gb card last week and tried 5 different Computers and my Vega before eventually, a Vista Laptop formatted it so keep trying!!

When I inserted it into my Vega, it automatically created the necessary folders it needed (Vega Media, etc).

I'm a Newbie too but just trying to pass on a little of what I have learned!!

Usually you should not need the 3rd step. The tablet should recognize the card by himself.

But step 1 and 2 are correct.
