Hello...

Hopefully this is in the correct section. I've just bought a Linx 10 tablet and want to expand the memory. I've got myself a 128gb Sandisk micro SD card, my question is can I trick windows into thinking this is a local disk rather than removeable storage? Has anyone done this before and if so was it easy to do?

Thanks for any help in advance.
 
give the below a try:

create a directory on the C Drive called c:\SD Card

open Disk Manager in Windows

Right-click on your SD Card and click Change Drive Letter and Paths

Click Add

In the Add a new drive letter or path for X: (Where X is the drive letter represented by your SD Card) select the radio Mount in the following empty NTFS folder:

Click Browse…and navigate to the directory that you created. Click OK.

that should be it, windows will now treat the sd card as internal storage.
 
That's great thank you for that link the Hack Part 1 sounds the best option. I'll have a go tonight, as the internal 32gb just isnt going to last that long the way i'm going!
 
I have a linx 1010. I have a 128GB memory card and I haven't done anything to it to make Windows think it is a harddisk and I haven't had any problems with it. I have steam games installed to it any everything.
 
Depending on your usage for most stuff you won't need to fool Windows into thinking it is fixed local storage but I'd run a speed test to check performance - on some tablets the SD card runs fairly fast on others it is a bit woeful.
 
Just a quick tip.

Make sure the MicroSD card is real and not a fake. The fakes look very convincing.

Only buy it directly from a shop, and not from a reseller on ebay or Amazon. If the price is cheaper than other places, it's a fake..
 
think most of the 128mb cards have poor write speed, like 20-25, mine constantly varies in that range, saw tooth style, 80mb read though :)
iops suck aswell
