Checking SD card integrity/Windows

This is an add-on section for checking your SD card for errors using h2testw.

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 Windows users only. If you are not on Windows, check out the Linux or Mac pages.

Copy all of your SD's contents to your PC and then format the SD card before starting this guide. If you do not, h2testw will be unable to test the parts of the SD that still have data in them.
