We have a problem with microSD HC cards.

All works fine with a 2GB microSD Card on the FEZmini with the microSD expansion card.

But not with a 4 GB Kingston Card

Exception System.Exception - 0xffffffff (1)

Kingston is the magic word (or the swear word, depending on your view :slight_smile: )

I think this is your error message:
[url]http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/1/2799/[/url] which I found from [url]http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/2/2899/[/url] and [url]http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/18/1976/#/2/msg27434[/url]

Ultimately the Kingston seem power sensitive, it’s probably worth looking at the capacitor fix - there are a heap of other posts that talk about that.

Format it as FAT, not FAT32 and it should work without the cap fix.
