Mini SD card not being read

[Alistair]

That is correct, nothing happens. But I must say I tried today with another Mini SD card that is recognized on Windows (same adapter used for both cards), and Ubuntu did not give any kind of response either, so not sure what to make of that.

Good point.

While in Linux, open a Terminal. Type sudo fdisk -l hit Enter.

Copy and paste in your next post, please.

Are any of these the drive in question?

[Alistair]

It’s a 64GB SD card, I don’t see this size in that list, does that mean it’s not detected at all?

[xrobwx71]

I don’t see it. If Windows and Linux don’t see it, then there is no way to test it or recover it as @Bruce mentioned above.

Therefore, it’s beyond our expertise.

As @Bastet said here.
