Who knows. Maybe this still works in windows 7 but not in windows Thank you OP for a fantastic trick. The Hitachi Microdrive Filter trick worked for my windows tab. I successfully converted my microSD card into basic disk. Here are the details :. Update the appropriate cfadisk. Then update the driver. Windows shouts at you, but just ignore. Now I my microSD card appears in two places with two distinct device instance paths. There is a yello exlamation mark next to disk drive instance saying that I need to reboot for the new device to work properly.
With the changed instance again update the cfadisk. Again update the driver. To check you can go to :. Using the Lexar BootIt tool method sounds much simpler, but finding a Flash Drive that will work with it appears to be the big problem.
