Micro Sd Card Not Recognized Windows 7
In general, photos on SD card not showing on computer is a common question. If we browse forums and websites, we will find many users have encountered this issue. Now, I guess many users want to know how to effectively solve the issue of SD card not showing files in PC, or at least whether they can recover pictures on SD card not showing on. Windows 7 operating system is quite widely used by many PC users, so lots of Windows 7 users have met the problem that their memory card is not recognized by system. If you run into the problem that SanDisk SDHC card is not detected by Windows 7 system, you need to use a software that can be compatible with Windows 7 to perform data recovery.
I formatted my MicroSD card to HFS+ and then back to NTFS from within my Phone device (using an app namely Paragon exFAT, NTFS, and HFS+). Now that I insert the card into my PC (Windows 7), the MicroSD card doesn't show up in My Computer folder anymore. I want to initial and format this MicroSD card to NTFS from within my Windows PC.
Windows Disk Management (compmgmt.msc) can detect the pertaining disk with its drive letter nicely, but shows 'no media' inserted. So, it is not possible for me to do format operations on it. How can I get my MicroSD card back to the operation again?
Update:
Picture below shows all storage devices currently connected to my PC.
Disk 0 : WDC WD3200BPVT-00HXZT3 ATA Device
Disk 1 : SD/MMC Disk Device
Disk 2 : Ricoh Memory Stick Disk Device
At the following, DETAIL DISK shows the detailed information for Disk 1; that is my Laptop's SD-Card reader slot. Notice that DISKPART shows No Media although the MicroSD card is actually inserted into the slot.
Also, I get error that the disk is not a GUID Partition Table (GPT) when I try to change GUID for Disk 1; as follows.
Although using CLEAN for a disk with no media seems meaningless but I've given it a try as with error: Virtual Disk Service error: There is no media in the device.
Windows 10 Does Not Recognize Sd Card

When formatting the card on Windows, the poster has reported encountering cyclic redundancy check errors on the card.
That, together with the fact that he has tried every other advice given in thisthread, seems to point to the fact that the card contains bad sectors,in a place which only Windows accesses.
You could continue to use this card on the phone, but not on Windows.I would still hesitate to recommend this, as there might exist other weak sectors.In any case, even if you decide to use the card, do not trust it.

I believe Windows cannot read HFS+ partitions, so you'll look for 3rd parties utilities to format your MicroSD.
I'd like to suggest using MiniTool Partition Wizardhttp://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html. It helped me overcome many difficulties that occur with Windows partition utility. Format your deficient MicroSD using the Format and Apply buttons.
Another solution is to write an image of an identical MicroSD card of yours using Win32DiskImager http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/, if Windows still is able to detect the drive with a letter.
Use Win32DiskImager to read the image of the spare MicroSD card to your hard drive, then write the same image to your inaccessible MicroSD using the same tool.
Another solution is to use other OSs that recognise HFS+ partitions, most likely many Linux distributions, and from there format your inaccessible MicroSD to NTFS. This sounds like a long solution for your problem, but consider it if the above solutions are not taking you any further.
SannySannyIt looks like you have managed to format the entire device as one partition, without any partition table. This is entirely legit (your phone is using it just fine), but software that expects every disk to have a partition table may 'freak out' and refuse to touch the device.
Basically, all you need to do is to convince your computer to recreate the partition table for you. You have several possibilities:
if you have access to a Linux machine (booting from a LiveCD should do), you can simply erase the first megabyte of your disk with
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx count=2048, and then runfdiskorgpartedto create a fresh partition table.if you're limited to Windows, get a software capable of reading/writing full disk images ('disk' meaning device, not windows drive). Make an image of a sane SD card (smaller that the one you want to recover), and write that image to the malfunctioning microSD. Your microSD should become readable, though it will have partitions of a smaller card. You'll have to delete those partition and create new ones, to use the microSD's full size.
I'm a Linux guy so I'm having a hard time recommending a suitable Windows tool. Judging by the description, Acronis seems suitable.
PS: as you may have guessed, both techniques will nuke all contents of the microSD card, so back up useful data before trying them.

Try inserting the sd-card into your android phone or tablet and format it to FAT32 format. Then check if it is recognized by the PC. If it is then format it to NTFS using the PC.

Micro Sd Card Not Recognized Windows 7 Fix
Similar thing happened to me just now. Used SD Card Formatter from the actual SD Card Org. The laptop went to sleep while formatting the card and later never finished when I woke it up.Tried most of the answers above and nothing worked the Partition MiniTool stayed on the splash screen untill taking the card out of the reader.What actually solved my problem is my old Nikon digital camera. Plugged the card in and formatted it using the menu option. Now the card has a fat32 and works as a charm. Just find a device that can erase your card. Cheers!
