Help 32Gb Micro SD "damaged" after file copy

I am trying to use a 32Gb micro SD card in my Samsung Epic phone but I have the following problem after copying files to the card: After safely "undocking" the phone during the "media scanning" process, I receive a "the SD Card is damaged" message and I have to format the card again to be able to use it in the phone.

I can copy thousands of files to the 16Gb card that came with the phone without any problems. Is anyone else having 32Gb micro SD problems or do I just have a defective card? :confused: Thanks!
 
more importantly, what in the world do you have on your phone that needs 32 gig!?

ha jk. did you have to format it first before using it? reputable brand? - possible you got a crappy brand or defective card from reputable brand?

Its and Android phone so isn't it obvious? ;)

Yes, there's a song about that!

I kid ... I kid ...
 
Yes, I agree, it's probably defective/fake. However, I did use a format utility right from the "SDCard.org" website and it formats out to 31.8 Gb, so at least that part is accurate.

Oh, and I have about 28 Gbytes of music...I'm an old guy and have collected a lot over the years.:D
