i recently wanted to use my sd card to add new games on my wii after it was sitting inside my wii for like a year but now when i put the sd card in my computer its not detected at all, and when its in my wii it says the device inserted in the sd card slot cannot be used.
it was working last yr but im thinking of getting a new sd card :p

It probably doesn't like whatever it is formatted to

#

See if it recognizes it when it is formatted to FAT32

shell pumice like to a new sd card

yeah i think so all you gotta do is format it to FAT32 and copy the old SD files to the new one

#

uhhh i thought you could maybe put the tiny card inside from inside into another sd card

#

like the microsd

#

i think so but just put the microsd files onto desktop, unplug it, then put in the new SD, format it, then drag the files on desktop to the new one

If you're on windows sometimes (it's silly), it doesn't assign a letter on your removable drive so it doesn't detect it.
You still can see it probably if you go on Disk Management. There you can format it or assign a letter
(Idk if that's the issue but it sometimes happens to me)

(addon to punkcakez) If its not on disk management then sorry but you more then likely have a dead sd card
