Struggling to format memory card as exFAT


Recommended Posts

I have a Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70F (2015) tablet that runs Android 6.0.

 

I have a new 32 GB microSD card.

 

When I inserted the card into the tablet, Android asked me to format it, which I accepted.

 

When I connect the tablet to my Windows 10 PC and try to transfer 5 GB video files onto the memory card, it fails (no error message, just an error sound).

 

I presume it's because Android formatted the memory card as FAT32?

 

So I connected the memory card to my PC manually and formatted it to exFAT using Windows' built-in format tool but when I reinsert it back into the tablet, Android says it's corrupted and needs formatting.

 

Any ideas?

Hello,

 

Have you verified with Lenovo that the TAB 2 A10-70F actually supports the exFAT filesystem as it is?  From looking at this thread on Lenovo's support site, it seems the tablet only supports FAT32 in the original shipped configuration.  That thread does mention how to add exFAT and NTFS support, by rooting the tablet and then installing the drivers for those file systems.  Have you done that already and are having problems reading the SDXC Card?

 

Regards,
