Hi,
To be able to mount the SD Card as a Permanent Storage it must be formatted to the same file system as your computer’s main storage file system.
Firstly, make sure that your SD Card is formatted to NTFS:
If the File System of your SD Card is other than NTFS then you would need to format the SD Card to NTFS.
Note: This step would remove all the files in your SD Card. Be sure to back-up before doing this step.
- Right Click again on your SD Card Drive then click Format…
On the next window select the File System to be NTFS.
You can leave all other properties as they are. Personally I leave the Volume Label blank and the Quick Format checked.
Then the Formatter would warn you that it would delete all files. If you are okay with this, then press OK. - Create a Folder in your Main Drive
Open a File Explorer and go to C:. Then create a folder named SD Card. - Mount the SD Card to the folder that we created in C:
Press the Window Key and search for Disk Management.
Click on the Create and format hard disk partitions. This will open the Disk Management window.
Search for the Drive of your SD Card. This is listed as Removable.
Right Click on the Drive of your SD Card then click Change Drive Letter and Paths…
Click Add-Browse
Then search for the folder that you have made (C:\SD Card). Select the folder then press OK.
You will now see that the folder that you created will be on the Mount Path. Press OK.
You may now close the Disk Management window.
Go to the C: Folder and you will see that the icon for the SD Card folder is no longer the Folder Icon but it looks like an icon that says SD.
When you go inside the SD Card folder you will see that you are inside your SD Card but instead of it having a path different to C:, it is now mounted as a C:\SD Card.
Hope above information can help you.
