Hi, i just upgrade my Galaxy SII in Samsung Kies, and my SD card create a .android_secure, but now the galaxy dont see the SD Card, but if i put the sd in a notebook i can see every folder and a folder .android_secure, but i cant format my sd, i can only read. I want to format the sd for work, someone have a solution for this ?
 
.android_secure is supposed to be where it stores secure information about what's being held on the SD card and not impact the card in any way.

To format your SD card, though, you need to unmount it. In the SD card settings, unmount the SD card and format should be available.
 
I'd take it back to where ever you bought it, then. I think that SD card is toast.
I know this Thread is from 2011 ,I do hope someone will read it . I've bought 2 "brand new " SD cards that came with .android_secure in it . And it says that it was created in 1969 , all that I could find online didn't sounded true .the SD cards says it's 32.39 giga . Obviously no sd card that it's 32 giga will have 32.39 giga of space , my worry is that this is a massive work with malware or some virus because I've tried to format on the android and after a long time that files still there. . You can't rename it nor delete it . I've did a zip as copy from it and it says 22 bites . I know that most virus has about 22bites right? So I've placed that SD n my windows phone 630 Lumia from 2014 and it said that it had old apps in it and needed to be deleted done that . And formatted the SD on the windows phone as well about 20 times over . All that after trying to move files from the phone to these which they were destroyed by the SD card . Now after a bunch of tries I've recorded a few times using the SD card and what I got was abou 1 minute of ok video after that recorded 400 mega of code that didn't worked after 2:40 secs . And after recording one with 900 mega the SD card could not save anything else. But it says that still have 29,13 giga left . Is these cards with malwares? Detail . This is the first time ever that I've bought the 2 SD cards with the package with no glue or anything to close where it comes normally closed . Why did already had this .amdroid_secure in it ? And why not even formatting on and on this didn't go away?
