    Ok, remember those topics about dumping games and data corruption?

    I can no longer right click and reformat the card :(

    Any ideas?

    (And couldn't do any right click functions-window freezes and goes un reponsive and have to pull out sd card from comp to get the comp working).

    Maybe the chip inside it is damaged or something, the only thing I could recommend is buying a new one which really sucks :\

    ^I would search for it just to see if it works so it will help determine if its your card or something else.

    It's the card..pc works fine and acekard works fine.

    It's the sd it seems-data corruption is preventing me from formatting it.

    Any other ways to reformat it?

    Maybe a virus is being executed from the SD card, meaning that the PC won't be able to format it since it's being used. What you might want to do first is try to format it on Safe Mode.

    It's no virus-all rom's and content is from here.

    Infact I knew what happened-stupid homebrew dumper program (wanted to share gta china town wars for a brother' friend) froze on re-dump (needed patch-but didn't know) and data is badly corrupted-laptop cannot access it at all.

    It's in the bin already anyway :(
