    What type of microSD chip are you using , Somethines they may read are right fater then some microSD chips , (Note) a R4 original can only take upto a 2GB microSD chip , microSD SDHC chip will not work well on it at all

    Are you could try a full format using

    Panasonic SD Formatter

    Let me know if anythink hear helps are not ?

    Well first, ew. :p

    But yes, clean the contacts on the R4 card. They are more than likely filthy and need to be cleaned. If you have rubbing alcohol, you can put a VERY SMALL amount on a q-tip, cloth, something (not toilet paper, paper towels, or anything paper though), and lightly swab the contacts. I can't stress enough how careful you need to be. Going overboard will ruin the card.

    Give the microds chip pins a good clean

    Try an eraser, (Note) this dose "not" format

    Read curefull about this program

    Active KillDisk Hard Drive Eraser V5.0 + Serial

    http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?s1pok8nhkb4faig

    This program will compleatly Erase any SD chip are MicroSD chip , USB Storage device are a Hard drive , Where you can "not" even recover any formatted data

    With this program be sure to select the Correct letter removable drive your microSD chip is using and check model on description and size of microSD chip , Select Kill and type in erase-all-data , wait untill done , then unplug it and replug in your microSD chip and do a quick format - are a full format if you wish

    Your microsd chip should be as good as new, as any corruption will be gone + formatted data


    "(Note)" Be carfull if you erase a Slave hard drive , You will need a program to make a new partition, Partition Wizard will do the job
