Windows Vista System Hangs When SD Card is Inserted

Secure Digital or SD card is the flash memory card, available in capacities range from 1 MB to 4 GB. These are non-volatile memory cards used in different portable devices. But SD cards might get corrupted if you forcefully remove it from a computer system. Such situations cause critical data loss as to solve these problems; you need to reformat the SD card. You will need to restore lost data from the recent data backup available. But if backup seems to be invalid or you don't have any backup, use commercial Photo Recovery tools.

As an instance, your Windows Vista based computer system is in Hibernate mode (also called as S4 power state) and you resume it from this mode. After this, when you attempt to restart or shut down the computer, it might hang and stop responding. Alternatively, you might observe that when you resume the system from Hibernate mode, some of the applications hang.

Cause

The above symptoms are observed when both of the below conditions are true:

• You have inserted an SD card into your Windows Vista based system
• You have not installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP 1) or later

Solution

To recover the system from such state, you should perform these steps:

• Remove the inserted SD card or power down the system forcefully
• Install Windows Vista Service Pack (SP 1) or later

After recovering the system, reinsert the SD card in system. If it gives any corruption errors, it might be corrupted due to unexpected shut down. To solve this problem, you need to reformat the corrupted SD card and use the recent data backup available for restoring lost information.

At times, data backup exists in invalid or incomplete state; consequently you cannot use it to restore data. Thus, you should use Digital Photo Recovery to perform full data recovery.
