Files saved on SD card dont show on PC
neil:
Hi Mark,
I am using the latest version of the SD source, v2.01 with changes to some SD cards where they didn't format. These cards are formatted as FAT32, and the files are created and read ok when connected to the processor. When I remove the card and place in the PC , it says the card is empty. The properties shows that 1.5MB has been used, but now files are displayed.

Hi Neil
I haven't heard of such an effect. Is this reproducible with all cards or just a few?
What you could do is use the HDD Raw Copy Tool "HDDRawCopy V1.1" to make an image of the card and send it to me. I can then copy the exact image to a card (including one that sent me that was causing initialisation problems) so that I can see it happening and possible explain it.

Hi Mark
The 2 types of cards we have are sandisk , and transcend cards. And it happens on both types. I have attached the file.

I have used this to create an image on a 4GByte SanDisk card.
In the PC I see it as a disk called "QWIKDISK" with no data on it.
When I insert it into a Kinetis board (SDHC) I see this as info:

The "dir" commnd shows it as empty.
The "dird" command shows that there was a file deleted called "ReadyBoostPerfTest.tmp"

1 files with 8388608 bytes
0 directories, 1994031104 bytes free
When I then analyse this file with the "infod" command I get:

Here I see the same data content and no other file objects (following are only 0x00000000).
Therefore, it looks like there is really no data on the card (once the original single file was deleted).
Could you do the same to see whether there is a difference? What do your see on the card? If you find files on it can you use the "infof" to see its location on the disk so that I can check whether it is on it somewhere?

Mark
