Ive got a micro sd card inserted into a usb device but as the sd card isnt formatted i cant open thye card to remove whats on the card to then format it. Anyone not any ideas as to how i can copy whats on the card, am i stuffed in terms of not being able to copy whats on the card. What i didnt do was format the card when i got it so i bet thats why i cant access it

    SD cards are usually preformatted. Try running some disk repair software.
