Invalid Card - Erase Data>?? Resmed Vpap Adapt / SleepyHead

Ok the other night was my 1st night with my new machine - ResMed S9 Adapt ASV

I use it the first night, use the SD Card that was in the machine as it was all wiped clean - Wake up, it shows my AHI was 7.1, ok cool first night, I take the card and import it into my computer using sleepyhead as I usually do, No issues. I return the card back to the machine - Stick it in and an Error pops up - "Invalid SD Card - Erase Card Data? Yes or No" - Since I only had 1 night of data I thought sure why not, selected Yes. It does its thing for a half min and goes back to the main screen.

Ok weird, never have had an issue like this. I go into night two, after waking up my AHI show's 0.0! I take the card over to the computer, import it via sleepyhead, go back to the machine put SD Card back into it - Bam - Invalid SD Card - Erase Card Data? .... I at this point think ok, maybe its this damn SD card, I had a brand new card, Stick it into the machine and its fine no errors etc.... I take a nap - machines showing ahi of 0.0 after the nap, Pugsy mentioned that maybe I should unplug the machine for a couple mins sort of rebooting it - I do that, Plug her back in - go to bed, wake up AHI is showing 1.80 - I take the card (locked mind you) import the data into sleepyhead, return it to the machine - Damn error again.... Ugg

....

Now that I do not need to import my data daily maybe this will change etc. I don't know what else to do ugg.....

Are you write protecting your sdcard before putting it into your computer?

Yea - moving that little thing on side to lock?

If you are indeed write protecting (sliding that little lock thing) the SD card and it isn't preventing your computer from writing to the SD card (that's what is causing the invalid card error) then I would suggest getting a new SD card (which I think you already have done)n and using it tonight.
Perhaps the lock thingy isn't working properly on the old card.

This is the new one I opened package right before putting it in, bit I'll get another new one and see.

Crap...this is the new card?

Make sure that you are doing the slide lock thing completely.
How to test it...remove from the S9...slide the lock...put back in the S9...it should tell you "hey dude,you have the write protect lock on"...if it doesn't tell you that then the lock isn't working.
At least I think the S9 will tell you that...my PR S1 did...I will test my S9 in a little bit and see what it says.

Erasing the card isn't the end of the world but it is annoying to have to keep doing it.
You have the detailed data in the software so it really isn't totally lost and it would get written over on the SD card anyway after so many days (7 for high def and 30 for other detailed files).
Summary data is stored on the machine for a year so it will just get put back on the SD card after the erasure.

Yea it's an 8 gig card, old basic one was 1 gig. Yes says it's write protected. I'll have it do it's erase thing n give it a go from there see what happens. Not going to have to keep uploading daily soon anyway, things are looking normal on asv. I have looked online on my insurances website, the sleep study prior auth my sleep dr hasn't been denied yet like the family drs was right away, so that's good... Should be hearing something soon from sleep center n insurance soon I hope once fully approved. Says active not denied like last one

I have a Windows 10 computer but haven't put SH on it yet...I will try it later and see what happens when I lock protect the SD card.
I can't see any way for the card to be messed with if the write protect is working properly but maybe Windows 10 has some sort of magical powers
Maybe it wasn't quite locked this morning????

Be sure to download to ResScan because of the UA thing in SH is really AI thing in ResScan.

I just built a new computer with Windows 10, haven't had any issues with SH at all. I always lock my SD card before putting it in the computer, and unlock it before it goes into my machine. No issues whatsoever.

Yea the card sticks directly into the computer. Never had these issues with the s9 autoset.... Then when I used that I never once did the write protect lock. Now that I have with this machine I get errors - strange. It's that sd voodoo card pugsy has

For the last year my Resmed s9 autoset has been doing this.I notified the VA and they advised that they are having this happening a lot. Just pick no and use it without the card. I refuse to do this, so I back it up every morning. When I get the yes no thing I choose yes
and then format the card on my computer.It will then work for a month or so. I have even tried a new card, but ultimately I will get the yes no thing again.
It isn't that I'm forgetting to lock the card.

I haven't had any issues with Windows 10 and the SD card. While it's usually a good idea to write protect the card, I actually haven't done it sometimes, but nothing bad has come of it. One thing you can do is look at the contents of the card on your PC to make sure no extra files have been created by the OS. Some third party apps on your computer might be adding files and/or folders...and that could be confusing your machine. It also might be worth verifying that your machine can handle an 8 gig SD card.

The write protect on the card does nothing to the card itself. The tab activates a switch on the card reader, and it's up to the hardware or software on the machine itself to not write to the card. This can fail in several ways.

The switch can malfunction.

Some people have suggested that some PC makers don't actually implement the write protect function, or have implemented it wrong.
