I bought a Surface Book 2 (new) and received it last Friday. I set it up and it has all the current software and firmware.
I have a 400 GB SD card on which are several movies and videos. It worked fine on my old Surface Pro 4. The SB2 does not have an SD card reader - I had to use an adapter. When I put the card in the adapter and plugged it into the SB2, the machine told me I needed to format the drive. When I tried to format the drive, the machine told me it doesn't recognize the format. I had two format choices: exFAT and NTFS. There were a number of allocation sizes; it was set at 128 kb as a default. I tried switching format types and allocation sizes - no luck in resolving the issue.
I thought that if I formatted the card, I would lose all my videos. My wife has an old Dell Inspiron and I was able to copy the videos from the SD card onto a USB thumb drive.
I tried using another SD card just to see if the SB2 would read it, and got the same negative result.
Can you help me get this SD card formatted? If the fix ends up wiping it clean, no worries, I have the content on another device. I just want to be able to put everything back on the SD card.
