Checking SD card integrity/Mac/legacy: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 00:08, 16 April 2024

This is an add-on section for checking your SD card for errors using F3X.

Depending on the size of your SD card and the speed of your computer, this process can take up to several hours!

This page is for Mac users who are using macOS Sierra (10.12) and earlier. If you are not on macOS, check out the Windows or Linux.

If you're using a Mac on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and above, follow this page instead.

Copy all of your SD's contents to your PC and then format the SD card before starting this guide. If you do not, F3X will be unable to test the parts of the SD that still have data in them.

What You Need

The latest version of F3X (the .zip file)

Instructions

Unzip the F3X .zip file
Insert your SD card into your computer
Run the F3X app
Select your SD card
Press "Start Test"
Wait until the process is complete

If the test shows the result Success! Your card is ok!, your SD card is likely good. You can delete all .h2w files on your SD card.

If the test shows any other results, your SD card is failing. You will have to replace it!
