Hello,

I recovered a micro SD card, and I would like to use it as a micro SD, but the issue is that when I connect it to my computer, it appears in duplicate. On one side as USB drive F and the other as SDHC H. I don't understand why, and I need all the memory to be recognized on SDHC H for it to be usable. Any idea how to do this? When I format, I can only format the two parts independently.
Thanks.

Hello,

It is possible that it was partitioned in a strange way by the previous user.

Check either through Control Panel-System and Security-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Storage-Disk Management how it appears there, or do the same with a dedicated utility (AOMEI Partition Assistant, Easeus Partition Master) for the structure of the drives.

Thank you Brucine,

so it appears like this:

Removable disk 14.48GB (it's a 16GB micro):
(H:) 400MB FAT32 // (F:) 14.03GB FAT32 // 62MB unallocated

is it therefore possible to combine everything so that (H:) becomes the entire card by itself?

Good evening,

Yes, indeed partitioned for a curious reason.

I can’t remember if AOMEI allows merging unallocated space in the free version, but even if it doesn’t, it’s not a big deal for 62 MB.

Merging the other two shouldn’t pose any problems if the 62 MB aren’t sandwiched between them, but by the way, that's curious, do you already have something in G?
