Scroll Tablet PC | Scroll Excel Tablet Forum

All I am trying to do is to take the SD card out of my camera and read it on my Scroll Tablet. Surely this must be possible. It just says TF card damaged...both cards I am using are brand new..any ideas?

Check teh format on the card as Android uses FAT and FAT32

Try formatting the SD Card in the Scroll 1st.

I have formatted the card on the Scroll ...this is OK but as soon as I remove it, put it in the camera, take a photo and put the card back, it again says tf card damaged. Do you think that I should format the card in the PC first?

You are bringing down the top bar and using the eject sd function aren't you? it doesn't "park" the card otherwise

Yep, doing that....

Your camera isn't doing something to the card (Kodaks love shitting all over cards' formatting for instance) which would cause the scroll to see the card as incorrectly formatted when you pop it back in?

If it formats correctly in the scroll and it's happy with it then I'd stop using it near the camera as this is most likely what's happening.

OK, thanks for that...I'll have another go at it later and if no good will forget it....pity though...would be a handy trick if I could do it...I'll see if I can find a workaround for it... Cheers for now, will post again if I have any luck

Camera must be formatting the card each time your replacing it

Yeah it'll be altering the file structure to add its DCIM folders, but then it's pooting the MBR making it unreadable to the scroll... I imagine it'll do it to any sd you use with other devices too.
